Halibut Jackson: 1

by David Lucas (Author)

Synopsis

Halibut Jackson is a very shy person. He prefers not to be noticed at all. So he makes himself clothing to match his surroundings. His library suit has a striped look to it to match the shelves. But when he is invited to a party at the Palace, he is flummoxed - what does it look like in the palace? At last, having researched hard, and sewn quickly, he is ready: only to discover when he gets there that the party is a garden party. A suit of silver and gold, covered in jewels, is definitely going to get noticed. But everyone admires it tremendously!

Media Reviews
One of the year's most likeable picture book debuts . . . beautiful, detailed, light-hearted street scenes. * Sunday Times *
A sparkling debut. * Carousel *
A charming book about overcoming shyness. * Observer *
The search for Halibut in David Lucas' witty and original illustrations is delightfully satisfying. * Guardian *
Instant classic - a phrase used, and abused, by publisher's publicists - for once really does spring to mind. * Financial Times *
