Review: Traction Man Is Here!

Traction Man Is Here! by Mini Grey
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

15 May 2021

Part of my 365 Kids Books challenge. For a fuller explanation see my review for 101 Amazing Facts about Australia You can see all the books on their own shelf.

I am currently 62 books behind if I had started January 1st, which I didn't. I'm only 96 behind for my regular reading challenge, which is doubled for the year. Will I make it? Will I get close? The suspense is killing me.

Out of curiosity I checked my reading stats. Of books I've entered in GoodReads, 429 is the most for a single year. In the years before GoodReading I used several different methods and databases, so I don't expect I'll ever get all of them in.

Because every time you read a book it is different: Since the previous time I read this I read Dazzle Ships: World War I and the Art of Confusion. So, for the first time I get the "dazzle-painted battle pants" joke.

Still brilliant, still amusing. the Offspring are still amused by the knitted romper from Granny.

I've been wanting to reread this ever since the sequel was released. It's a wonderful story about a child's imagination, and the pictures are a hoot. I love Scrubbing Brush, particularly.

On a sidenote, I'm always amused when I discover that I tend to read the same authors at the same time of year. Sure, it makes sense reading A Christmas Carol in December, but why would Grey recur in March?
