Laugh-out-loud funny gloss on family life
It'll make you roar with laughter
A real treat. This is only Lauren Child's second book for children and I'm totally hooked
Child's spot-on portrait of family life...has an anthropological quality reminiscent of Posy Simmonds' Weber family...exuberantly inventive
Text and illustrations are united in giving this wittily ironic, child's-eye view of familiar characters and their foibles
