[Shane · Rating 3 out of 5]

I'm reading through these old Aussie Bites to encourage borrowing in our school library. This is a whimsical, fun adventure I think the students will enjoy. A few plot holes - but I'm sure they won't notice!

A funny and clever little gem of a book filling a child's imagination with stories of impossible happenings and people. Recommended.
