Very good for older readers June 21, 2008
I think this is a lot of fun for older children reading themselves because there are lots of little in jokes and details and it's sophisticated in a way they'll get, and quite post-modern, to make them feel clever. It's quite a bit too old for my daughter, but she likes to point at the birds and things and finish the rhymes she can remember. She'll enjoy it more later.

My 3 year old is loving these book, he adores , 'room on the broom' though he is not keen on 'gruffalo' I am!

Upon reading this book to him, he seemed to be bored, i did too. It seemed not to flow as well as her others, and made it difficult to get in to.

We have had this for a week now, and ay bed time, he does not want me to read it. So is a bit of a let down to be honest.
Though the drawings are good as usual

Having to read a lot of books to my book thirsty(not yet 2 year old) son, I have found this to be a breath of fresh air. It's fun for everyone & the usual Alex Scheffler characters are there - frogs, bears, dogs, parrots, dragons etc. I actually find Grufallo to be boring, but this one is great. Also, it's not scary - headless ghosts are fun! Especially when they put their heads back on after a night's haunting!

?Not appropriate for young children January 23, 2008

Very different to the others in the "series" - Gruff, Snail and Whale etc are great!
Apart from the confusing, jumping, stories, I was most bothered by the "decapitated ghost" story. Whilst it might be viewed as "comic book", seems to me to be "nightmares waiting to happen" - definitely not on our bedtime reading list.

Not as good as the others October 21, 2007

Julia Donaldson seems to have got it wrong with this one. Whilst the Gruffallo is good, this however falls short of the mark.
