A must-have for the holidays

- Sarah Kingsford, Sunday Express

For those of a rebellious nature or children with a book phobia, this book conquers the conundrum of the boring book. This is a great beginner book for reluctant readers . . . it will engage the hidden imagination and creativity of all ages. This book flies in the face of convention; children are encouraged to splat it, soak it, rip it, wear it, tear it, bling it, break it, whack it – almost anything – just don’t eat it. A great book for those wet afternoons – with plenty of choice for both boys and girls. It can be returned to time and time again.

- Martina Needham, Inis
