New book in the bonkers and delightfully absurd series Svingen’s Mad World!
Benjamin’s father says that you get a crooked face from cycling into the wind, that the roots of your teeth grow up into your head if you don’t brush your teeth, and that the dreaded Taco Monster crawls out from his hiding place whenever there’s a smell of tacos in the house – so the safest thing to do is eat blood sausage and cod tongues. But one day Benjamin really, really wants some tacos, and how good can the Taco Monster’s sense of smell really be?
