3.0 out of 5 stars not the best, 5 Nov 2007
By S. Elliott "bookmad" (uk) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The Puffin Book of Five-minute Stories (Hardcover)
I bought this book for my two boys who are six and seven years old, it looked great to me. Unfortunately after reading a few of the stories my boys said the book was just plain boring! Maybe it would be better suited for girls??? there are so many lovely books out there and I liked the idea of having lots of different stories all in one book, but it didn't work this time !!!

5.0 out of 5 stars The book has a lots of stories, and they are very good., 28 Mar 2001
By Mrs. L. M. Faure "lucyfaure" (Kent, UK) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Puffin Book of Five-Minute Stories: Unabridged (Puffin Audiobooks) (Audio Cassette)
My favourite story is the one called Ostriges can't Fly and my second favourite is the one called Tikki Pikki Boom Boom. Ilove the way that each story is kind of different in its own way. I have even got the cassette of it! It is one of my favourite books apart from Cirque Du Freak of course!!! (My sister buys the cassettes of the series and we listen to them as soon as we get them!)
