These are fabulous short stories that will have youngsters who are ready to read short stories on their own lapping up every word and laughing on every page. Add the chaotic style illustrations and these are a sure-fire winner for any young reader. - Birmingham PostIt is written in an amusing way with good descriptions. I think this book is very funny. - GuardianFantastically funny. - tBk MagazineHilarious short stories that might remind you of ones you know. They encourage newly developing or reluctant readers, but are great fun for all ages and abilities. - Primary Times
