Michael Morpurgo - a fantastic author ! My daughter is ten years old and we have both enjoyed his books together and his stories are written in a way that is appealing to both young and old, but .......... 'The Best of Times' is really a simple fairytale that really perhaps should have an age recommendation attached. It is a small book, very short story and in my opinion best suited for age 7 yrs and under. A sweet little book but only for the little ones !

I bought this book for my ten year old grand daughter but thought that I ought to read it myself first. The facts and the fiction were woven together in such a way that I immediately felt involved in the story. It wasn't too gruesome for a child to read and there was an empathy for the determined and courageous little boy and an understanding of the animals.
The story unravelled many current projects to ponder on.
