    • Kluk s neodpustitelně divným jménem, který trpí přeludy, geniální dvojčata se svou podezřele velkou a podezřele chlupatou "chůvou", dva tisíce let starý zlodějský skřítek a zlovolná společnost na výrobu snídaňových cereálií - to jsou základní ingredience, z nichž Adam Rex ve své sáze Křup! namíchal vskutku výživnou snídani. Do jedné misky nasypal svižné vyprávění, nápadité ilustrace, "přestávky na reklamu" i zapeklité rébusy - a vytáhl lehce ujetý příběh plný chytrého humoru, kde se moderním světem mezi lidmi prohání spousta nejrůznějších kouzelných bytostí. Toto je kniha, kterou zaručeně zhltnete na posezení, a už se vám budou sbíhat sliny na další díl. Tak dobrou chuť a ať jste v mléce vždycky křupaví!
