A review by mat_tobin
Crusts by Danny Parker, Matt Ottley

3.0

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.
