Gus's Garage

Description

Gus's workshop is chockful of useless odds and ends. But when his friend Rico comes over with a problem-his scooter seat is way too small for a rhino-Gus finds just the thing to solve it. One by one his friends come to Gus's Garage and he solves their troubles with ingenious solutions-a cooling system made with a fridge that doubles as ice-cream machine, a burst of speed from a rocket blaster trombone. Soon the workshop is almost empty. Is anything left to solve Gus's own problem at the end of a long day?

Leo Timmers was born in 1970 in Belgium. At the age of 12 he started to draw comics and later trained in graphic design. He illustrates for magazines and newspapers and has released many successful picture books. He has a large following as one of Belgium's pre-eminent picture book artists.

Do you like to tinker?! Gus does. Gus's friends visit him with their various problems for him to solve with inventions. Rico needs a bigger seat on his scooter, Gina needs a warmer neck in her car (she's a giraffe), Miss P. needs refrigeration, and so on. Watch how Gus uses the materials in his full garage to build inventions for his friends. Gorgeous illustrations & inspiring inventions. -- Imagination Soup "Clearly, one animal's clutter is another pig's livelihood in this buoyant, rhyming tale." -- New York Times (US) "Warm, beautifully crafted and stacks of recycled fun, it's always a pleasure to see what Leo Timmers will get up to next." -- Kids Book Review (AUS) "The most magical picture books tell their story in images, as much as in words.
