Mister Whistler loses his train ticket at the station, but thanks to some zany dance moves he might still make the train . A hilarious, lively picture book by two of the luminaries of New Zealand childrens books. There is a lot of fun to have, as the hapless Whistler swings and twirls around the platform pulling his pockets inside out, even taking off his trousers in a desperate bid to find the ticket he has just bought. Where could it have gone to and will he find it in time to board the next train to Whistlestop? Gavin Bishop fleshes out the character of this eccentric gentleman, from his elegant spotted underpants to his big green coat, while Margaret Mahy adds the lyrical commentary to accompany his musical antics. - Carousel (UK), March 2013 AWARDS: Picture book winner, NZ Post Children's Book Awards 2013; Illustration finalist, LIANZA Children's Book Awards 2013; Storylines Notable Book 2013.
