It's a fun book. I like how it teaches kids to think out of the box. The drawings are funny and entertaining to look at. However, I didn't like the big message of "leave all your things and procrastinate to the end of the world and you'll get it done eventually!", that was promoted by this book. I also didn't like that the book had several repeated pictures as if they were trying to reach a certain number of pages for their book. I know it was funny and I did laugh at these repeated pictures but I wouldn't be happy if I had a printed version with these repetitive pages. So, it was fun on digital and not suitable for printed version.
Anyhow, I will be reading the next book to see if they're still promoting bad behaviour or not.

It's not my cup of tea particularly (I'm just not a fan of the "illustrated madcap humour" genre), but I can see this going down very well with the late KS1/early KS2 crowd, especially if they're not hugely confident readers. One I might seriously consider for the school library.

I have not read these, but my reluctant reader devoured this entire series, so it’s 5 stars in my eyes.

Another reading recommendation from my 7yo. I liked how the authors managed to tie together all kinds of random things. The different parts of the story feel disparate, but almost everything comes together for a purpose in the end. A silly book, but I’ll for sure continue picking up the rest of the series for my son to read. I would say this is a great book for kids who love graphic novels to transition into more traditional chapter books.
