William's little sister, Mary, has lots of annoying habits, but the worst is her invention of an imaginary friend. Not just any old imaginary friend, but a lamb. Now Lamb is stealing William's place on the sofa and eating all his favourite tea-time biscuits. The rest of William's family think Mary's adorable, and humour her, but William is irritated.

Media Reviews
Sibling rivalry is hilariously portrayed * The Observer *
an intriguing book, full of light, domestic humour, but tinged with a more serious feel for sibling rivalries, family tensions and the ambiguities of fantasy * Books for Keeps *
A delightful tale of sibling rivalry over an imaginary friend. Kathryn Cave's text is well-paced, comic and dry, a fine addition to the Hodder storybook series...a first rate read * TES Primary *
Delightfully funny * Carousel *
There's a very attractive and entertaining humour here. Cave skilfully traces the tensions between brother and sister. Both William and Mary have fresh imaginations and the book is crowded with incidents until both gradually and happily relinquish their power games. * IRISH TIMES, May 99. *
An intriguing book, full of light, domestic humour, but tinged with a more serious feel for sibling rivalry, family tensions and the ambiguity of fantasy. Chris Riddell's intricate drawings capture the feelings of the characters perfectly. * BOOKS FOR KEEPS, Nov 99 *
A delightful tale of sibling rivalry over an imaginary friend. Kathryn Cave's text is well-paced, comic and dry. Chris Riddell's accompanying drawings turn this into a first rate read. * TES PRIMARY, Aug 99 *
