Product Description
Product Description
Nicky and Tasha wake up, but instead of their mum being with them, there's just a tape recorder on the floor, with a note saying, 'Press Play.' Mum's thought of everything: Tasha needs to wear a jumper (and not that thin shirt she'll get cold in), Little Joe needs his porridge, his lunchbox and constant companion Wabbit, the alarm clock needs to be reset and placed silently beside their sleeping father for when he needs to get up, and then there are all the final checks before they go - is the oven off? Is the cat out? Are the milk bottles on the doorstep? Have they got their school books? When Nicky and Tasha have done everything, they get out of the house saying, as their mother says at that moment each morning, 'Phew!'.

A girl called Tasha and a boy called Nicky and a little baby boy called little Joe are left alone with just a voice to listen to.
There mum is at work early and daddys fast asleep.See how they get on in Press Play.My favourite bit is where Tasha, Nicky and little Joe go up too there dads bed room and see him covered in oil.It was the most funniest bit you will ever see.I also like
the bit where Tasha pretends too be sick in Little Joes breakfast.I would reccomend it to ages 6-11.

Nicky and Tasha wake up and find there is a cassete player on the floor.Nicky presses play and out floated their mothers early morning voice and she bosses them about and ends up with hilareous mistakes.They go upstairs an find that their dad is still sleeping and they set the alarm.Lets see what results they get in Press Play.
I enjoyed the book because Nicky and Tasha get annoyed with little Joe their baby brother.The best part about Press Play is where their mum bosses them about to do things and also the funny parts so it makes it a good book for kids to read.
I would reccomend that the book is for 8-12 years to have some fun.
