These escapades of a real family will have immediate appeal for young children and their parents. Episodes are presented in simple, contemporary language, peppered with the word plays and puns that children relish. The stories are packed with witty observation of the strange behaviour of adults. Dad's attempts at cooking and his impractical approach to odd jobs are hilarious: watch out for the unexpected, authentic details that make these books so individual!

Bold, naive illustrations in full colour complement the natural language of the narrative, adding plenty of interest with sharply observed action.
