Media Reviews
Energetically illustrated, with lots of fun details to spot, Traction Man should inspire lots of sandy action men this summer. -- Daisy Bridgewater The Telegraph As ever, the richly imagined world of Traction Man is packed full of the wonderful jokes that have made his adventures such a delight. -- Julia Eccleshare The Guardian Mini Grey's latest, Traction Man and the Beach Odyssey, is a seaside classic for 3+... The pictures are brilliant and the text hilarious - dads especially will love doing the voices. -- Amanda Craig The Times
