Product Description

Product Description

Nicky, Tasha and Joe's mum leaves for work early one day and she leaves instructions for them on a cassette-player - all they have to do is press play! Nicky and Tasha must get themselves ready for school and get baby Joe ready for playgroup without waking Dad! They have to get dressed, make porridge for breakfast and find Joe's toy rabbit. Then they have to creep into Dad's bedroom and set the alarm clock for him. But it is very hard to get ready quietly, especially when your baby brother is crying for his toy rabbit!

4.0 out of 5 stars An exciting story you will not want to miss, 16 July 2004
By M. J. Hetherington "Patryk" (Derby) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Press Play (Paperback)
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.

4.0 out of 5 stars A playful book for kids that love funny mistakes, 16 July 2004
By A Customer
This review is from: Press Play (Paperback)
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.
