Not one for wanting to eat his crusts, Jacob ignores his mother's chastising but rather than waste them, decides to keep them. On a far off planet that is gradually crumbling away, a small group of aliens are looking for a solution. Could it be Jacob and his crusts could provide the answer? There is a sense of fusion-text in this picturebook with elements of comic and picture book coming through. Both Parker and Ottley work well together here to tell the story and I certainly enjoyed Ottley's fine art. Nice use of perspective and full-page spreads to invite the reader in during key points.
