Advantages: A fantasy book with a difference, (makes a nice change). Disadvantages: Wish I'd read it ages ago.
Two things attracted me enough to buy this book. Firstly there's the title - Muddle Earth, and secondly the artwork. We're presented with a strange looking bunch of characters; including a boy with a saucepan on his head, a three eyed ogre, and a dragon that looks as if it's seen better days.
It intrigued me enough to want to check out the first few pages and what I saw made me realise that I was going to enjoy this book and I still hadn't read the back cover yet!
Before you even get to the first page of the story you're introduced to some of the characters, (which is how I knew it was a three eyed ogre on the front cover!)
*Joe the schoolboy
*Randalf the Wise
*Veronica the Budgie (rather bossy)
*Dr Cuddles
*The Horned Baron
*Norbert the-not-very-big (the three eyed ogre)
*Henry the Hairy (Joe's dog)
