We love this book. It's one of the true classic children's picture books. Thank goodness it is back in print - our local library's copy is worn out.

Another splendid Stanley Bagshaw story.
In the final frames a radio broadcasts a critic's review of the book.:- "The use of idiomatic language, the pleasingly pedantic quatrains, full of lambent alliteration, coupled with deceptively naive illustrations..." I couldn't have put it better myself. Incredibly it's all true.
Raymond Briggs - Times Ed Supplement

Full of wonderful ribald humour - we all roared with laughter! An irresistible book with humour crammed into every page. Strongly recommended.
