Reviews

Brilliantly funny -- Abi Elphinstone Filled with joyous charm, fabulous rhymes and, of course, Tazzyman's trademark zany illustrations which leap off the page * My Book Corner * Crazy scenarios of what might happen on a summer holiday are wonderfully depicted thanks to David Tazzyman's zany artwork and Patricia Cleveland-Peck's wonderfully fluid rhyming text * Library Mice * A real page-turner, bursting with humour and surprises. Every book in this series has put a smile on our faces! * Picture Book Perfect * A joyfully anarchic story about animals making mayhem on a family trip * Daily Telegraph * A riotous rampage of a picture book packed with animals behaving VERY badly on holiday! A dream combination of crazy escapades, animals who won't take no for an answer, and the energetic, anarchic illustrations of David Tazzyman * Library Girl and Book Boy * You will laugh out loud * Guardian on YOU CAN'T TAKE AN ELEPHANT ON THE BUS * Beautifully illustrated - one to treasure and become a firm favourite * Toppsta *
