The Day the Rains Fell is the best book I've seen for younger children - and for parents who want their children to enjoy and learn at the same time - about why humanity and every species on the planet is threatened

A lovely African creation story

The rich warm colours of the watercolour illustrations evoke the African landscape that is the backdrop for the story. A lovely book

Beautiful watercolour illustrations by Karin Littlewood really bring this book to life

A joy of a book, a celebration of mum's everywhere

There 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

Children 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!

Any 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

Sarah 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

Comes across as an infant Fungus the Bogeyman in the sort of humourous rhymes of text Giles Andreae does so well
