Book Description

4 May 2009
Mrs Collywobbles has nothing to fear from the strange and fearsome visitors that emerge from the big, dark, scary wood – not with her pet frog guarding the garden gate. Gobble! They don't hang around for long! But when Mrs Collywobbles' frog demands a thank-you kiss, things suddenly take a surprising turn...

5.0 out of 5 stars A 'must have' classic! 15 Aug 2008
Format:Hardcover
WOW - what can I say? This is the best children's book I've read - ever - and I've read most of them! This book had my children, and others enthralled. I had to read it over and over again and they still wanted more! The beautiful illustrations are equally matched by the clever story. The ever so slightly macabre way the frog gobbles the monsters up had children squeeling with delight and adults (who stopped what they were doing to come and listen) roaring with laughter! Just when you think the story is coming to an end, the unexpected twist adds satisfaction like no other! This is a true classic and a must have for anyone with children. It's right up there with Maurice Sendak and the greats - Thanks William Bee - I'm hooked!

5.0 out of 5 stars Something different 7 Aug 2010
By S Riaz HALL OF FAME TOP 10 REVIEWER VINE™ VOICE
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
This book is not really what you expect from a children's story. It has a slightly uneasy feel to it, the illistrations are a little scary and the twist is brilliant! A sweet little old lady lives by a wood, where she is visited by various unpleasant characters - and they do look really quite weird and dark. However, she is saved by her frog, who guards her from the passing trolls and goblins. I am not sure whether a nervous child might find the book a little scary, but mine don't and they find it hilarious. Judging by the other reviews, they are not alone. So, if you are looking for something a little bit different, then try William Bee!

5.0 out of 5 stars Funny and with attitude 31 July 2009
Format:Paperback
This quirky book had a bright 3 year old and myself enthralled. Good to read aloud and 'join in'. It has an unexpected twist in the tail and is not your usual 'wet' fairy story. Even knowing what is coming, she wants it again, and again, and ..... parents had hidden it once... but we found it.
