Format:Paperback
I laughed so much at this book that I stuck it in my partners' briefcase so that he could read it on the train on his way to work and he managed to embarass himself in front of the other commuters by laughing out loud whilst reading a children's book. This is a pacy story that is accessible to young readers, it is very tongue-in-cheek. Don't expect a sophisticated plot but do expect lots of gags. Jeremy Strong writes about changing nappies on one-legged dolls with funny eyes but doesn't go heaps on poetic descriptive detail. A book written to entertain and attract modern young readers.

Another reviewer of this book renounces it as trash as it doesn't treat 'properly' the arrival of a new sibling. Rubbish! This is fiction, and very good fiction, and not meant to be given to children in preparation for new babies. My 8 year old daughter loves this story immensely and on holiday last year listened to the audio cassette non-stop. This is the third book about Nicholas and his family and if you loved the others (My Dad's Got an Alligator and My Granny's Great Escape) then you will love this. The chapter where Nicholas and his Dad have to care for Mum's old, battered and limbless doll as though it were a baby is hilarious, as is much of the rest of the book. Read this book,you won't be disappointed.

My daughter is 8 and she absolutely loves Jeremy Strong. She had been nagging me to buy this book for a few weeks and I gave it to her for christmas. She read it all the way through within a couple of hours and really enjoys re-reading all of Jeremy's books. I'm not too sure what the appeal is, but I think they are very funny and well written.
Quote from my daughter 'Very good, he makes it very much like his own life sometimes.'
