This one is a Tintin masterpiece
This one is a Tintin masterpiece: constantly surprising by being full of ideas. It is full of laughs by being very witty in how situations are played out and characters react to being placved in those situations. The images are wonderful too, best seen on the biggest size book, which is an absolute bargain as you will see by the prices here.

As a child, I remember going to the library ...
As a child, I remember going to the library and checking out the Tintin books and being drawn into the adventure, wishing I could be Tintin. Now in my late 20's, I have decided to purchase all the Tintin books so that when my 2 year old is a bit older, I can share the world of Tintin with him :-D

Re-discovering Tintin
Re-discovering Tintin with the kids.... they are now tintin fanatics and demanding that we read more of the stories whenever possible. We ripped through this story in a few bedtime reading sessions and the kids were fixated. I found myself continuing to read after they'd drifted off to sleep.

Wonderful Artwork
I love the Tintin books, now trying to get my niece into them as an excuse to buy them all again. I really like the hardback editions and book arrived in very good condition however I don’t know why but the new italic font is a bit off putting, also think it’s harder for kids to read.

I love Tin Tin!!!!!
Tin Tin, is an educational, exciting and great book and series. The story is exciting and keeps the reader wanting to know more. The theme is similar but the story changes from other books in the Tin Tin series. The kids reread this again and again. It is great for kids to keep them off of a computer and into a book. The pictures and art work is wonderful and top quality. I would recommend this book to a friend and I would buy it again.
