Rating: - Get your kids to read this
I bought this for my twin boys to read but found myself at a loose end one Sunday evening. In total it took me an hour to read but don't let that put you off. It is designed primarily to get children into reading again. This book does it fantastically well. Don't expect a literary masterpiece (it is only 92 pages long) As the old saying goes though "it does exactly what it says on the tin". If you are buying a couple of books for yourself then consider adding this to your basket to get something for your children. A bargain price under 2 pounds which you may well recoup by going over the minimum spend to qualify for free postage effectively making it free.
Rating: - Short, snappy and above all a damn good read!
