--The Good Book Guide, October 2009

3rd best-selling, paperback, non-fiction title, in The Daily Telegraph best-sellers list, 12th December 2009
-- The Daily Telegraph, 12th December 2009

the well - meaning but doomed-to-be-hilarious attempts of children at their most serious... both charming and funny.
--The Weekly News, 18th December 2010

Product Description

Jack brort a cak to school and we all had a pis Captin Cok was a famos exploder I found a spare seal so I quickly sat on it Children are at their funniest when they are trying to be serious, and their earnest attempts at mastering the English language are a veritable goldmine of unintentional humour, from the charming to the ludicrous, and from the profound to the downright X-rated. Enjoy this side-splitting collection of spelling slip-ups and homework howlers.
