Mr Pam Pam and his baby are regular visitors to the house of the boy who narrates this story. Mr Pam Pam is very tall with stringy arms and legs and he says his favourite food is banana ice-cream with gravy. But then Mr Pam Pam says lots of things that you cannot be sure are true. He says, for instance, that he's seen a Hullabazoo with yellow hands and a green moustache, a bouncing, twizzling Hullabazoo. But whenever the boy looks where Mr Pam Pam tells him to, the Hullabazoo has always gone. But one day there is the Hullabazoo, just as Mr Pam Pam described him, wearing purple socks and a flat orange cap with a star on the top, and the small boy is truly amazed.

Trish Cooke is also the author of "When I Grow Bigger" and "So Much" (illustrated by Helen Oxenbury), which won the 1994 Smarties Book Prize. Patrice Aggs has illustrated "Count Karlstein", "The Sleepy Book", "Florizella and the Wolves" and "Florizella and the Giant", and the picture book "Why the Sea is Salt".

Trish Cooke was born in Bradford, West Yorkshire. Her parents are from Dominica in the West Indies, so she’s “a Yorkshire lass who can speak Dominican patois”. She comes from a large family, with six sisters, three brothers, eight nephews, six nieces, three great-nieces and one great-nephew, all of whom provide her with the inspiration for her picture books.

Trish now lives in Bradford with her partner and their two children. When she was pregnant with her first child, Trish decided to turn her hobby, writing, into a full-time career. “You need to have a sense of humour and imagination to write children’s stories. Adults tend to lose themselves in the seriousness of life, whereas children have a simplistic approach. My five-year-old son reads all my stories and reviews them for me. He’s my best critic.” Trish has won many awards for her children’s books.
