My Family and Other Animals

Durrell has an uncanny knack of discovering human as well as animal eccentricities'Sunday Telegraph

Ten-year-old Gerald doesn't know why his older brothers and sisters complain so much.

With snakes in the bath and scorpions on the lunch table, the family home on the Greek island of Corfu is a bit like a zoo so they should feel right at home...

Gerald joyfully pursues his interest in natural history in the midst of an unconventional and chaotic family life - all brilliantly retold in this very funny book.

Reviews

A true genius . . . Roald Dahl is my hero

—— David Walliams

An imaginative, creative feast!

—— Radio Times

Happily the creators of this series have maintained their high standard and brought us another hilarious story. . . Wondrously inventive and fast-paced, this is another gem.

—— Parents in Touch website

Great for little people

—— Burnley Express

They have masterminded a work of genius.

—— Philip Stone , The Bookseller

A very, very silly book written by two members of pop band McFly, Tom Fletcher and Dougie Poynter. The story revolves around Danny – a very greedy boy who asks Father Christmas for too many presents. But Father Christmas decides enough is enough and instead gives Danny a huge Dinosaur which results in a very messy and smelly consequence. If your child liked Aliens in Underpants or The Story of the Little Mole, they will love this funny yet cautionary tale.

One of the funniest, and one of the most irreverant Christmas books out there. . . If you like your humour to be slightly scatological in nature, then The Dinosaur That Pooped Christmas will have children in fits of laughter (and a large amount of adults too). . . Brilliant!

—— Martine Horvath , EYE magazine

Beautifully illustrated, really funny and rather smelly

—— www.theschoolrun.com

[This] beautifully illustrated picture book contains a moving message about love, loss and learning to accept change
