2006: Sock Monkey and Maakies creator Tony Millionaire transmutes nursery rhymes and the golem myth into a storybook about a girl scientist and her friend, Billy Hazelnuts (who was created from cooking ingredients by tailless mice). Their journey to find the missing moon while battling an evil steam-driven alligator with a seeing-eye skunk fuses the darker spirit of older fairy tales with an absurdist adventure, and gender politics. Demented and charming! MATURE THEMES HC, 6x9, 100pgs, B&W..........$19.95
