About

A book of unreasonable rhymes, preposterous paintings, tenacious typography and enchanting music come together in this remarkable package, to delight and stimulate the child in us all. Fabulous fictions like The Girl wih the X-Ray Eyes, The man with the Cast Iron Belly and The Hide and Seeky Bird, dance to a surreal soundtrack of twenty five wonderful songs which criss-cross musical boundaries previously untravelled in 'children's music'.

The accompanying DVD & CD features performances from a great line up of NZ artists including Bic and Boh Runga, the Topp Twins, Neil and Tim Finn, Darren Watson, Dave Dobbyn, Che Fu, Don McGlashan, Jackie Clarke, King Kapisi, Chris Knox and more.
