Review "Original, funny, and endearing . . . a delightful read-aloud . . . the boldly colored, humorous, sometimes spare illustrations are perfect for the straightforward text. "  -School Library Journal on Dexter Bexley and the Big Blue Beastie"The pictures are unusual but pleasing, and they give the story a bit of an Edward Gorey feeling. Children will enjoy this delightful romp from beginning to end."  -Booklist on Dexter Bexley and the Big Blue Beastie"Joel Stewart's talent for telling is every bit as insightful as his drawings."  -Guardian Product Description Stanley is sleeping in the caravan at the bottom of the garden of his new house. He awakes at the sound of an odd whooooomphing noise and goes to investigate. There appear to be new trees in the garden-very odd. And now his mom and the twins are missing. Could these things be connected? And what about Jim, the old man who lives in the woods with his parrot telling tales of the sea? Could he be involved somehow? Dr. Moon is the only person who can help Stanley with this puzzle, and luckily he's on his way.
