"I absolutely love David Walliams's books. In a few more years they will become classics." (Sue Townsend, author of Adrian Mole)   

"Brilliant touches of characterisation and silliness." (Books for Keeps

Very very short

What disappointed you about The Slightly Annoying Elephant?

Why would anybody want to purchase a story that only lasts 8 minutes!? To be fair this was my fault for not checking the time length but really, what is the point of a story that by the time I sat down with a glass of wine in my hand there were shouts of 'mummy! The story's stopped!'

Has The Slightly Annoying Elephant put you off other books in this genre?

No, but don't like wasting money on something that only lasts a few minutes!

Rip off price for a 8min story.

Can’t believe they charged one credit for this. My fault for not double now checking but will avoid a lot of stories now.
