Very entertaining book. Would suit 4 to 7 year olds

Got this for my son's 5th birthday. He's currently going through that obsession with poo and farts that all little bys seem to have at some point, so this book was a huge hit! He laughed until he nearly cried at the description of the hippo farting. For Book Week, his class were all asked to bring in their favourite book. He asked to take this one. I checked with the teacher first it would be OK, given its content, and she said yes. Today she came out at home time and said she'd read it to the whole class and they had all laughed aloud for a very long time at it- her included, and now she's going to buy a copy to read to her grandchildren! A massive hit in this household!

A humorous story which my grandson loves. Lots of funny illustrations. Nicely written and a pleasure to read out loud.

Super story get this book to read to your kids

Bought as a present for my 4 year old grandson as he loves these books.

This is quite wordy but such a great story A lovely picture book for young school aged children Great pictures to keep their attention/interest - action packed!

Bought this book for my granddaughter but when it came it was bellow her reading level, so told her to have a quick read of this book if she wanted to them give it to her friends little brother who hasn’t started school yet so it’s defanatly not bellow his reading level as he hasn’t even started school yet.

I was very disappointed. The story was depressing and the attempts at humour fell flat. I'm a huge Roal Dahl fan and many have billed Walliams as a successor. Based on this book, I fail to see it. Walliams fails to understand what made Dahl's dark humour work and instead of leaving you amused and uplifted, he leaves you wishing you hadn't read the book. It is missing heart and a moral turn.

Highly recommend... even effective for our 7 months old son... of course depends how it's presented to the kid but surely will help to increase the imaginary power of your child

Rather disappointed by the dishonest ending. I gave Walliams the benefit of the doubt and tried it. Neither I nor my 4 year old liked it.

My grandchildren loved it. I am so grateful that I bought it.

Purchased for 4 year old grandson and he loves it.
