Adventure, humour, bold illustrations and manageable text make this an ideal book for reading aloud or reading alone. * Toppsta review *
Favourite scenes include a ride in a hot air balloon, suspended from a wonderful variety of inflatables, and another in the stinkiest cave in fiction. Lots of fun, this is one to recommend to readers who like their adventures wild, wacky and full of invention(s). * LoveReading4Kids *
