The book is a delight however the formatting leaves a lot to be desired. Some of the text runs over the illustrations. Purchasing from Kindle as this doesn't suffer from the same problem.

I loved it. Even thought the age recommendation is 6-8 I am 11 and still loved it. I would recommend it as one to read as a family or by yourself. It is a good one to read in the run up to Christmas. I had a quick glimpse of an advertising poster and was immediately intrigued and drawn in.

A lovely written story which is so very easy to read, i couldnt put it down. Lots of little thought evoking messages that both adults and children will think about. Would make a great Christmas Eve gift .
