'A fantastical celebration of eating... A gallery of exquisitely drawn dim sum adorns the endpapers' - Observer 'A deliciously off-kilter picture book that looks almost good enough to eat' - The Times 'A child takes a fantastical journey to the Dim Sum Palace... Both the theme and look are reminiscent of Maurice Sendaks In the Night Kitchen... A real (delicious) trip' - Kirkus 'A sumptuous homage to Maurice Sendaks In the Night Kitchen' - The New York Times 'Fangs delightful story about a nighttime kitchen adventure has shades of Maurice Sendak . . . but Liddy is a force unto herself. Full of finelined crosshatching and a saturated color palette, Fangs artwork is deliciously off-kilter, with flattened and blocky figure designs and a fanciful sense of scale underscoring the charming imagination of Liddys dream. Food-loving kids eagerly anticipating a special treat will easily recognize Liddys wide-eyed excitement - and probably end up asking for a snack' - Starred Review, Booklist
