I am ten and Driftwood is the first book i have read by cathy cassidy and it definitely won't be the last.
I found this book thrilling ,original and most of all it made me realize that some people are very different than others.
I would recommend this book to adventurous readers and anyone who doesn't mind a tear full story.

The intricacy, layout and artistry of this book is amazing. My children (5 and 2) absolutely love it although they do need to be reminded to be careful of the popups but so far it's survived many readings and curious fingers. Absolutely recommended, especially as a gift.

If you're the kind of person who is a shallow label-whore and has plenty of money to throw away on high fashion and jewellery, shoes and handbags rule your world, and you wish to impress the same brainless ideals upon your children, thus turning into spoilt little sh*ts just like yourself, then this book is for you.
So why somebody purchased this for me, i'll never know. It screams of an insult to be perfectly honest. I found it extremely offensive.
Its funny how a lot of the industry involved which is being preached and sold to children in nursery rhyme form has so much to account for regarding child labour and conflict diamond atrocities.
A simple but memorable tale in rhyming couplets whose text and ills go perfectly together. The visual aspect has elements of Gulliver's Travels and Heath Robinson in it.
Our teachers in infant school used to read this book to us all the time! We all adored these poems - they're funny, touching and highly memorable.
Tales of Eddie (usually throwing a wobbly), and the secret eating of the chocolate cake have stayed with me for years and years as happy reminders of primary school.
I recommend this book to any infant school teacher, and defy anyone who reads this book and doesn't enjoy it. Everyone should have a copy - I'm so happy that it's been re-published! I had to search eBay for a copy a few years back for my sister (who's now an infant school teacher), as I couldn't find it anywhere!

I have used the poems from this book with children aged from 7 to 11 years. The collection of poems is interesting and focus on the five senses individually and then finally a section focuses on the senses together. Some of the poems provide welcome inspiration for children to write their own poems.

This brilliant book is written in the same style as all of Gervase's novels and has captured that extra bit of wit over his other works. He thinks up the funniest of lines for the children and teachers and makes you laugh out loud. I normally would not buy a poetry book but after glancing through the first few pages of this in the book shop i had no hesitation in purchasing. Gervase is a genius in capturing the athmosphere. Try it yourself.

My daughter loves Hairy Maclary and this book is no exception. Stands up to multiple readings. And who'd have thought that Scarface Claw would ever be entered in a cat show!
