The suspense and surprise ending along with the comically and brightly done pictures are enjoyable for the parent/adult as well as for the child!! If you have ever worn a towel or some kind of cape around your neck and played superhero - you will relive those days and enjoy this read thoroughly!! Great for storytime! The sounds depicted in the story and the techno-robotic-communicator had us entralled. Enjoy!

This book was recommended to me by the Children's Storyteller at our Public Library. It is so much fun, and the dialogue sounds just like my children at home! The artist has drawn characters that fit the story so well, it is a great book for storytime or anytime! We all really enjoyed this one!

A delightful book that is as fun for you to read to your child as it is for them to listen to.

... The allusions to Bogart films and the really bad puns (visual and otherwise) serve to introduce your child to a whole new level of fun with language and, around every turned page there's something new.

... you'll find things in this book that will keep you as entertained as your child right up until the final page when the lights go out. ...

My son, Joel, loved this book, and he reads it often. He wants me to get a toy or something, but I don't know if there are any.

I agree with the review above that this is NOT for young children. It was given to my son when he was 5, and it is way beyond him. So it has been carefully put away until such time as he will more fully appreciate it.

Quest was so intriging (I'm over 50), that I have bought copies for my peers who also marveled at the wondrous artwork, the challenge of the search and the genius behind Mr Whatleys & Ms. Smith's talents. It is truly a fun and challenging book for all ages.
