Such a great story. The voices are spot on. My daughter loves it. Clever to set it during another period of anxiety. Reassuring to know all will be well with Walliams at the helm!

Best yet!

This is a. Good story but I think that the story line is a bit all over the place and hard to follow but over all it is good story

I would rate the vocabulary 5/5

The story line I would rate it at 4/5

Over all would rate it at 4 1/2 so it very good
