Sammy dreams of flying. His older siblings are going on a school trip to an aeroplane museum. But Sammy is too small to go. Then Grandma plans a magical day out just for Sammy.
This cheery story explores the gamut of emotions of four young friends. A lovely way to celebrate happy times, as well as acknowledging the times when we feel "scratchy, grumpy, and yucky", too.
—— Catherine O'Dolan , JuniorAn introduction for the youngest readers to the different feelings they experience, from sad to funny, angry to sunny, and even lost and small.
—— BooktrustA quirky, life-affirming tale with a central message about the value of friendship and the importance of thinking of others. But what really makes this book is the beautiful, remarkably evocative illustrations. I found myself genuinely longing to share the characters' existence in their idyllic seaside home
—— GuardianA touching book
—— Alison Walsh , Independent on SundayBeautifully illustrated by Carl Pearce, with a resonating message that will encourage children to want to ask questions
—— Bournemouth Daily EchoThere is something about snot which intrigues at this age and Morris the Mankiest Monster provides plenty of toenails, pustules and other delights from a disgusting but friendly monster
—— Alison Walsh , Irish Independent on SundayChildren will absolutely love it - I will leave adults to make up their own minds . . . The illustrations are wonderful - full of grisly details that children will adore, and they will delight in reading the story to you. Great fun!
—— Parents In TouchAny book that has an embossed green bogey on the cover has already got my vote. This frankly vile book is a complete and utter joy from beginning to end . . . A revoltingly good treat for young children
—— Stacia Briggs , Norwich TelegraphSarah McIntyre certainly does not hold back with her illustrations of Giles Andreae's hilarious rhyming words . . . Sarah's illustrations are all beautifully drawn, with an incredible attention to detail that will have children poring lovingly over the pages
—— Book Zone For BoysComes across as an infant Fungus the Bogeyman in the sort of humourous rhymes of text Giles Andreae does so well
