5.0 out of 5 stars Quite possibly the funniest children's book ever, 25 Nov 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: The Magic Pudding (Hardcover)
This is quite simply not only one of the funniest children's books ever written, but one of the funniest books full-stop. The story of the band of mates, their extremely bad-tempered magic pudding and the incompetent pudding thieves is non-stop hilarious. It's great to read aloud to young kids, excellent reading for pre-teens and a good laugh for gloomy teens - it's unvarnished, knockabout anarchism is sure to appeal. For grown-ups -I swear don't read this in public unless you don't mind looking like a loon on the bus. The Aussies have kept this classic to themselves for too long. This edition is illustrated with Lindsay's own wonderful drawings.

3.0 out of 5 stars Intermittently brilliant, 17 Dec 2004
By N. D. Maidment "butchmaidment" - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
One of the most popular children's books in Australian history has remained a hidden gem over here, but while this story is at times side-splittingly funny - for adults as well as children - it is occasionally a chore to read.
The storyline, involving a band of wandering chums who are guarding a magic, but very rude and bad tempered, pudding is a delight. The numerous altercations between the central heroes and the rotten puddin' thieves (always solved by fisticuffs) are sure to have young ones rolling in the aisles, but the songs, THE CONSTANT SONGS, which sometimes run over page after page, can become a bind. I found myself skipping past them.
Another plus, however, are Lindsay's magnificent illustrations that are as fresh and lively as anything you'll ever find, even 90 years after its release.

5.0 out of 5 stars A must read for everyone who likes to laugh, 31 Mar 2009
By Mrs. Rosemarie J. Lane "Snoopy" (United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The Magic Pudding (Dodo Press) (Paperback)
I've had a copy of this book on my shelves for 40-odd years and read and re-read it with extreme pleasure and lots of laughter. The storyline, the fights, the magic bad-tempered pudding - it's just a delight and should be prescribed reading / bed time story telling - for all older primary children and upwards to 100 yrs.
