Review:

"Look! There's Leo. Let's talk to him. But he only speaks Spanish, so we'll talk to him in Spanish. Hola. Hello" From the book; 'Gale's collage and mixed-media illustrations, however, buoy up the volume considerably. Incorporating everything from Russian invoices to a canine parody of van Ecyk's The Arnolfini Wedding, they possess a cheeky elan' Publishers Weekly review of 'All my own Teeth'"
