Media Reviews
'You Wouldn't Want to Be a Victorian Schoolchild!' genuinely resonates with the atmosphere of a Victorian school day. The teachers are suitably nasty, the pupils are suitably naughty, and the humorous attention to detail in the illustrations will make for an engaging look at Victorian school days. -- Junior Education 20020901
