Child’s comedy romp confounds the expectations of young readers to hilarious effect. * Time Out *
Child’s book is so unusual, it’s impossible not to get drawn into it … as with all Child’s books, her wonderfully quirky illustrations bring the story to life * The List *
Lauren Child pushes the boundaries of design in a book crammed with a wealth of comic detail * Child Education *
Each page is still a surprise and a delight * Books For Keeps *
A book children will come to again and again * School Librarian *
Lauren Child’s individual style is shown to perfection in this funny, subversive story * Bookwise *
Brilliantly observed with heaps of irreverent (but good natured) humour) * Junior *
