Review: Really Funny - A classic Julia Donaldson. Forget my kid...I love to read this book again and again.
Review: Compared to other books by Julia Donaldson - My grandson and myself have immensely enjoyed some of her other books - Room on the Broom, the Snail and the Whale etc. This one is nothing like those. The story, the rhythm and the illustrations are all quite uninteresting. My grandson was soon bored and didn’t want to continue.
