Book Synopsis
Traction Man is back! And so is Scrubbing Brush, his brave and rather bedraggled pet. But one night Scrubbing Brush myseriously vanishes and in his place is the utterly hygenic Turbodog, in indestructible Purple Plastic with Flashing Eyes, Electronic Bark and three AA batteries. But it''s not the same without Scrubbing Brush. Where can he be? Traction Man sets out on his greatest rescue mission yet. Can he save Scrubbing Brush from? And is there room in his life for two pets?

Trade Review
Mini Grey is a consistently brilliant writer and illustrator, brimming with ideas and invention, and this is another triumph * Daily Telegraph *
Mini Grey's comic-strip story, with its busy frames and witty filmic references, celebrates true friendship, dirt and all * Guardian *
I can't recommend Traction Man Meets Turbo Dog highly enough . . . A witty and surreal picture book that's suitable for both reading aloud and first attempts at reading alone. It's slightly subversive in a Toy Story way, but is absolutely and utterly British. Don't miss it * thebookbag.co.uk *
Another brilliant picture book from Mini Grey, whose sense of humour and adventure, love of the language of the toy box and understanding of childhood fantasy is matched by her pictorial invention and a skill at characterisation that can make even a scrubbing brush appealing * Books for Keeps *
A brilliant and playful parody of an action-hero drama by quirky writer Mini Grey * Junior *
