" Mister Whistler is a nonsensical, fun and yet very true to human experience story of absent mindedness. It has all of Margaret Mahy’s hallmark whimsy and Gavin Bishop has put his heart and soul into the illustrations. I love the story, and I love the pictures." Julia Marshall, Publisher

A hilarious, lively picture book by two of the luminaries of New Zealand children's books. Absentminded Mister Whistler always has a song in his head and a dance in his feet. In a rush to catch the train, he is so distracted he loses his ticket. Is it in the bottom pockets of his big coat or the top pockets of his jacket? Perhaps he slipped it into his waistcoat... Where is Mister Whistler's ticket?
