When Dad loses his car keys, toddler Mary has a suggestion: why not see what’s hiding down the back of the chair? But when they look, they get more than a few surprises…
This lively, eccentric poem is a visual explosion of fun and imagination, featuring dragons, pirates, treasure, lions, elephants and much more. Margaret Mahy’s classic story celebrates the wonderful everyday, guaranteed to put a smile on the face of readers young and old.
‘The entertainment, humour, and exuberance of it all arises from what Dad finds… Mahy’s text rollicks along in rhythm and rhyme, and Polly Dunbar’s graphics are akin to a fireworks display on the page; words, phrases and pictorial images metaphorically pop up and explode like stardust over the double spreads’ — School Librarian
