What happens once he’s inside? Mac Barnett’s iconic talent for
earnest deadpan humour and Jon Klassen’s irresistibly funny art
honour this timeless question with answers both ridiculous and
plausible, mounting in hilarity as the night continues. Channeling
a child’s fanciful explanations, this latest collaboration by a
bestselling team will find a secure spot among family Christmas
traditions.

see the world. That is how he meets Jane, a kid with a tremendous
imagination and an open position for a worthy knight. That is how
Leo and Jane become friends. And that is when their adventures
begin. This charming tale of friendship-from the author of Extra
Yarn and the illustrator of the BolognaRagazzi Award-winning
Josephine-is destined to become a modern classic that will resonate
for years to come.

and affection. A BOOK ABOUT FINDING YOURSELF: The boy's journey
