A Children’s treasury of Spike Milligan
What a joyful book for young and old alike😂. I first bought this book for my daughter when she was young but it was sadly lost. I have recently replaced it and taken a walk down memory lane. This is the type of book which should be handed down so that future generations can enjoy it too. Full of funny stories and silly verse. A nice touch is the CD of Spike reading from the book which is an hour long. This book is not just for children but also for the adults who can remember him as a great comedian. Highly amusing and very highly recommended.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Best Book EVER :)
I really can't recommend this book highly enough. The fact that it also now comes with a CD of Spike reading his work too makes this a MUST have. Any child or adult who does not have a copy of this book is missing out 'big time'!Verified purchase: YesCondition: New
