Reviews

What I like about the Funny Family books is that they are charming and rather sweet and absolutely right for a newly independent reader.

I'd be more than happy to use this book to introduce the idea of a new baby.

Amusing... offers the young reader much to think about.

The Scotsman

Hilarious.

The Guardian

In this delightfully humorous tale, the strength of family life shines through. Super illustrations.

Families Magazine

Eagerly awaited by those lucky enough to have already read the adventures of the 'funny family'.

Charming, sweet and absolutely right for a newly independent reader.
