Find out how the weasels' dastardly plans for world domination are foiled in this hilarious, off-the-wall debut picture book from a shiny new star in the children's book firmament. It's packed with cross-over humour to amuse little kids, and big kids too. The art is stylish yet accessible and full of details for poring over time and time again - there's always a new joke to find! And there are machines, maps and even a laboratory ...oh, and lots and lots of weasels. Weasels - what do they do all day? Eat nuts and berries? Frolic in leaves? Lurk in the dark? Argue with squirrels? Hide in their weasel holes? Well, all these are wrong. What they really do is ...plot world domination. Review: Wonderful weasels - I have used this book in school with my reluctant year 7 readers and, even though they are a bit older than the age group the book was designed for, they loved it. Every time we look at it we find more things to talk about and to write about. There is just enough text and plenty to inspire the imagination. The drawings are superb and it makes us laugh. A thoroughly entertaining book and skillfully crafted. Review: Weasel world .... Marvellous fun - As a Primary Adviser I can recommend this book to parents and teachers who believe that independence, choice and fun are important when reading and learning. Spare text ... Yes. But the journey you go on with the weasels engages eye and heart. There are so many stories within stories as we wander through the labyrinth of weasel world. These can be stories of our imagination, as we recognise characters and track them through the book. And how human is that ending! Life messages if you need them abound, not least that everyone counts. Bravo brave writer! Looking forward to the next book!

A modern classic.
Weasels plotting world domination? A MUST for all mini (and not so mini) megalomaniacs. This is a visually stunning and incredibly creative read for small and older children, mums and dads included! I have read this story to every class in my primary school and all year groups have loved it and found so much to talk about! My 2 year old son sat in his bedroom and spent 15 mins looking through it,spotting what all the weasels were doing, chattering away to himself describing their actions whilst me, and his proud father, sat next to him watching quietly. What more do you need?

A fun book about weaselly world domination!
World domination is an interesting concept to explain to a 3-year-old, but she seemed to understand that the weasels were trying to take over everything. She's just started learning about machines and electricity, so found the (well telegraphed) punchline about 3/4 of the way through the book, really funny. There's a LOT going on on each page, and there's some great characterisation, with similarities to Bond villains, and all sorts. A fun book to read for 3 to 13-yr-olds, with kids less than 6 needing it to be read to them by mum or dad.

Weasels can - and they will!!!
A grown adult who works with children, rather than a child myself, I was thoroughly amused by this book from start to finish. The story is funny, witty and incredibly cute, while the illustrations are utterly charming. Each time you return to a page, you see something new, something equally funny that you didn't spot before - this simply adds to the charm and appeal of the book, which is brilliant. I shall look forward to reading it with the children I look after in future!

World Domination Takes Caffeine
This book wonderful. It is really funny for kids and parents. It is a great book for the kids of parents that work in a nerdy setting and the like. Buy it I have shared a copy with many people at work and they love it. Many buy their own copy.

Hilarious!
This book is so amazing that I've bought nearly 20 copies of it to give out as gifts. Learn all about what weasels do all day. (Hint: They are trying to take over the world!) Also, they like coffee. Delight the young children in your life by given each weasel a unique voice!

A must read!
This is a fantastic book for any kid (or adult) who likes engineering. great sense of humor and story lines appeal to kids and adults. I've read this to kids as young as 4 who are very engineer-minded and as old as 9, and given this as gifts to multiple children. It keeps everyone's attention. We love the comic book style and complex illustrations that you find new things in with each read. Great subplots that can spark long conversations with curious kids. All elementary school libraries should have this book!
