    Brilliant book. My children absolutely love Shirley Hughes stories and it's wonderful to read them as I was read them by my parents too. This book is nearly £30 new in Waterstones and I bought it for £3.99 with postage included! Absolute bargain and saving the planet at the same time! Re use and recycle for the win!

    Disappointed

    I knew the book was second hand. But I am a Little disappointed that it was not mentioned that there was an inscription on the inside for the previous owners birthday. Probably wouldn't have bought it if I had known

  • Beautiful book to treasure.

    I bought this book as a gift. I shared Shirley Hughes books often at home, with my own kids and at work, as a primary school teacher. The illustrations are stunning and the content just lovely. I hope my new nephew or niece will get as much pleasure from this book as I and others have enjoyed in the past.
