More fabulous chaos from Lily and Daisy in this sparklingly funny and gross series from the bestselling Debi Gliori Lily is 9. Her sister Daisy is 1. And she's no ordinary baby. Somehow, when she was born, something went rather wrong... and now Daisy is a Witch Baby. Nobody knows this but Lily - she's the only one who can see when Daisy makes the fridge float in the air, or turns people into slugs, or summons up her very stinky dog Waywoof...
Charming, quirky stuff, just right for 7+ -- Amanda Craig * The Times *
Gloriously chaotic -- Debbie Williams * Primary Times *
Much more toilet humour, many more flatulence (and other) jokes; very clever and very funny. Read it with a six- to eight-year-old you know soon and you'll both enjoy the experience * Storytime Books *
The book is full of great illustrations that let me imagine the characters a lot better . . . I laughed a lot when I was reading this book -- Megan, aged 8 * Anorak *
