Tee Hee Hee - By: , 22 May 2003
I sat in my local bookstore for a good half hour the other day just giggling at this book & recieving odd looks from other shoppers. This is great. OK, some of the entries are a little obscure, but I challlenge anyone to read Roald Dahl's little red riding hood without smiling. Especiallly when it gets to "the smalll girl smiled, one eyelid flickered..." Pure Genius. This book is brilliant.

This is fantastic. OK, some entries are a little obscure, but I challlenge anyone to sit & read Roald Dahl's Little Red Riding Hood & The Wolf without smiling. Especiallly at "The smalll girl smiles, one eyelid flickers...." Pure Genius. This is a brilliant book just to flick open when you have nothing better to do & have a good chuckle.
Patchy with some giggles - By: , 25 Oct 1998
While there are occasional glimmers, the book was rather a disappointment. Old favourites like the 'November Pig' are there but many of the poems beg the question of why they are included at alll, especiallly some of the song lyrics. A reasonable selection of off-beam verse, certainly, but not the gem I had hoped for.
