My 2 year old daughter loves all of these books - very imaginative stories - great illustrations - pages contain lots of detail she really enjoys.
Very good for older readers June 21, 2008

I think this is a lot of fun for older children reading themselves because there are lots of little in jokes and details and it's sophisticated in a way they'll get, and quite post-modern, to make them feel clever. It's quite a bit too old for my daughter, but she likes to point at the birds and things and finish the rhymes she can remember. She'll enjoy it more later.
 I have the whole range of Julia's books, but this one....... May 2, 2008

My 3 year old is loving these book, he adores , 'room on the broom' though he is not keen on 'gruffalo' I am!
Upon reading this book to him, he seemed to be bored, i did too. It seemed not to flow as well as her others, and made it difficult to get in to.
We have had this for a week now, and ay bed time, he does not want me to read it. So is a bit of a let down to be honest.
Though the drawings are good as usual
Brilliant! Keeps adults entertained too April 14, 2008

Having to read a lot of books to my book thirsty(not yet 2 year old) son, I have found this to be a breath of fresh air. It's fun for everyone & the usual Alex Scheffler characters are there - frogs, bears, dogs, parrots, dragons etc. I actually find Grufallo to be boring, but this one is great. Also, it's not scary - headless ghosts are fun! Especially when they put their heads back on after a night's haunting!
 ?Not appropriate for young children January 23, 2008

Very different to the others in the "series" - Gruff, Snail and Whale etc are great!
Apart from the confusing, jumping, stories, I was most bothered by the "decapitated ghost" story. Whilst it might be viewed as "comic book", seems to me to be "nightmares waiting to happen" - definitely not on our bedtime reading list.
