The illustrations by David O’Connell are superb. The cartoon people don’t personally appeal to me but, as an adult, I’m hardly the target audience and – given the popularity of the illustrations of [[:Category:Tony Ross|Tony Ross]], [[:Category:Nick Sharratt|Nick Sharratt]] and more recently [[:Category:Alex T Smith|Alex T Smith]] – I suspect children will adore them. I certainly love every picture of Mr Hyde when he transforms into the creature. And there are plenty of these. I especially like the little random pictures of the creature that start every chapter. Quite why he’s eating a sandwich at the start of chapter one and sleeping above the title of chapter two remains a mystery but I simply don’t care given the pictures make me smile every time I look at them.
Overall this is an incredibly fun read that I would recommend for anyone who enjoys stories from the likes of [[:Category:RoaldDahl|Roald Dahl]] or [[Category:David Walliams|David Walliams]]. I’m way (and I’m not prepared to admit how far) outside the target age range but I’ll certainly be looking out for book two – ‘‘Creature Teacher Goes Wild’’ – when it comes out in August 2015.
