Isla Fisher began acting as a child and has worked solidly in television and film for the past 25 years. She has appeared in Home And Away, The Great Gatsby and Definitely Maybe, to name a few. Isla has played many roles over the years, from a bonkers bridesmaid in Wedding Crashers to the poster girl for consumerism in Confessions Of A Shopaholic. But her favourite role has been being a mummy to daughters Olive and Elula and son Monty. Isla has been making up stories at bedtime for them every night since they were born. These books are for her children, as a reminder of all the fun they have at bedtime reading books and sharing stories.Eglantine Ceulemans spent her childhood reading Belgian comics. In 2007 she joined the Emile Cohl School of Art in Lyon, France, transforming her passion for illustration into a vocation. She loves working in an intuitive way, combining humor and sensitivity, and using different mediums and techniques. Eglantine currently resides in Lyon.

Perfect for reading aloud, or for beginner readers... the plentiful illustrations make a good transition from picture books and add hugely to children's enjoyment.

1. 5/5

   Fantastic read for young minds

   This was a gift for my daughter's 6th birthday. She absolutely loves Marge, Jemima and Jakey and their adventures. It is a different approach to some traditional children's books which have scary or not very nice characters. All of the characters are likeable and kind. The adventures are based on the everyday and not fantasy - which is a bit of a change. This would also be suitable for young readers to read on their own. The language is clear and concise and enough pictures to break up the text. The stories are short enough that you can read one as a bedtime story.
