Media Reviews
A delightful book ... I read it to my six and four year olds ... at one point they were laughing so much they couldn't hear the story * Lincolnshire Echo *
With the help of Neal Layton's hilarious black-and-white illustrations, it maintains momentum without exhausting readers with vacuous action... Fluent eight-year-olds will enjoy Tom's antics, as may their 11-year-old mates - male and female. * The Sunday Herald *
