As only a child can! - By: M. M. Godfrey, 24 Nov 2007 
Funny, lovable & heartwarming. Better because it comes from the heart as only children can present the story of 2000 years ago in a Nativity play. I could imagine the voices of the children & Gervais Phinn as I read the book.
Fantastic, laugh out loud book review by Maz-Manchester - By: Marilyn, 20 Sep 2007 having had 3 boys myself & experience of childhood "clangers" over the years, I laughed out loud at the antics of the children in this book, never has a book made me giggle so much or marvel & enjoy the innocence of childhood. The book has a lovely feel-good factor & one which you can dip into again & again, every page you open makes you smile at one antic or another. The storyline reallly jumps out of the page & you can almost hear the children with their Yorkshire accent & lovely sayings. A reallly heart-warming, delightful book full of enchanting anecdotes & I'm delighted to recommend it to alll, great family reading.
:o) - By: M. OWEN, 24 Jun 2007 NOT to be read when you are travelling on public transport. A laugh-out-loud book. The only fault was that it wasn't long enough.
What a bore - By: Michael K, 12 Jun 2007 
Quite who Gervaise Phinn had in mind as his potential audience is quite beyond me. This book is full of the kind of drivel that, if spouted by someone at a dinner party, would have everyone coming up with excuses involving babysitters or early starts, anything but endure another "witty" anecdote from Mr Phinn. Full of the kind of nauseating tales that would be hard enough to bare from the children's doting parents, Gervais Phinn lives up to Charles de Montesquieu's definition of an author as "a fool who, not content with boring those he lives with, insists on boring future generations".
Wish there'd been more! - By: A. Knox, 01 Jan 2007 
This is a funny & touching book - it took me right back to watching my Son's nativity plays & at times gave me a lump in my throat...
My only regret is that there isn't enough content: this book could have easily been half as thick, but the canny folks at Penguin have used LARGE TYPEFACE to help fill up the pages & that's a shame. It would have been better as a slimmer volume at a cheaper price than p-a-d-d-e-d o-u-t in this way.
