We got this book free with sun perks and couldn't wait to lister not it. It is very funny. I wish it was longer. I have several of these books that I read to my children at bed time.they adore them, he really draws you in with his characters.

from David Walliams, along the lines of Roal Dahl. I thought my granddaughters would enjoy this, but it's just gutter humour. Maybe I'm just old fashioned, but this is for the delete button.

I expected better.

We’ve had a few of David Williams’ audio books before now. They’re always performed with David’s style, with voices similar to characters from Little Britain and Come Fly With Me, which is good to listen to. Normally his books would be long enough to last us a number of car journeys, but this one was incredibly short... build rocket in 3 steps, blast off, arrive at moon by accident, get in wrong rocket by accident and land back on earth, with no more substance than that - very disappointed.

Incredibly short
