Reviews
A snort-out-loud, anarchic 8+ farce, with deft illustrations and an unforgettable octogenarian narrator.The Guardian
This very funny story would be excellent to read aloud, as there are lots of asides to the reader. Nici Gregory's brilliant illustrations are scattered throughout, making this a very appealing book to read. Overall, a hoot.BookTrust
