Format:Paperback
I first read this book at the age of 6 or 7 (I am now 48) and giggled at the daft exploits of the good-natured Jennings and his bewildered sidekick, Darbishire. The Jennings books were read and re-read until they fell apart. I very much enjoyed introducing my children (now aged 16 and 21) to Jennings, and they found the books as entertaining as I did. Jennings is as delightful a character as you're ever likely to meet in children's fiction.

My older sister read this - and the rest of the series - to me when I was ten and we laughed ourselves sick. Now my own children laugh themselves sick over the exploits of Jennings, Darbishire, Bod, Mr Wilkins, etc. The comedy of misunderstandings doesn't date, and the slang is truly hilarious. If there's a funnier book out there I'd love to read it.

I loved this book and laughed alot at the funny scrapes that Jennings gets into. He reminds me of the things I get up to at school.
