Rating: - Fabulous
This book is fantastic. I love the sea and I love the artwork. My 20 month old niece does too. Proof - she went to sleep holding it!
Rating: - This is the tale.......
My 2 year old son and I adore this book. He requests it nightly, choosen from 2 huge shelves of books, with a smile from mummy as I don't tire of it either! The illustrations are beautifully drawn, accompanying the story perfectly. The tale rhymes nicely, although if read too quickly becomes a bit of a tongue twister which makes us both laugh.

Rating: - Excellent Story
This is a fabulous story about being friends with and helping each other, no matter who or what you are!

This book essentially teaches your child important values relating to real life, and is an absolute pleasure to read.
It's also about travel, with plenty of creatures and land/sea features to hold the interest of any fidgety child.

They are all cleverly written (in a rhyming style) and beautifully illustrated (with some repeat themes / characters popping up in various books - look out for them). I would strongly recommend buying this or Room on the Broom as an introduction to the ... Read More
Rating:  - another crowd pleaser
Another crowd pleaser from the author and illustrator of The Gruffalo and Room on a Broom. My kids love these books. They don't ever get tired of hearing them, which is why this gets four stars. It doesn't get five because I don't like it at all. If you're looking for funny rhyming books with great illustrations I highly recommend the work of Lynley Dodd whose prolific output includes Hairy Maclary from Donaldson's Dairy and Slinky Malinky.
What I find most annoying about reading this book ... Read More
