Editorial Reviews

"Very funny, written very dryly and is a sobering lesson to all us busy parents who sometimes get distracted!" —Lucy Owen, Western Mail Cardiff

"An Andersen classic. Hilarious cautionary tale." —Michael Rosen, Lovereading Guest Editor


"This is a true classic!" —The Good Book Guide
