When a box of toys is thrown away, a determined clown sets out to find a new loving home for himself and his friends. Told entirely through pictures, this award-winning and heart-warming adventure starring one of Sir Quentin Blake's own favourite characters is filled with hope, joy and friendship. Sir Quentin Blake is one of Britain's best-loved and most successful author-illustrators, and was made the Children's Laureate in 1999. He has won the Whitbread Award, the Hans Christian Andersen Award for Illustration, and the Kate Greenaway Medal among others.
