"I pre-read to make sure appropriate for Noah. He’ll enjoy it! "
Melanie Schmitz
"Rather dated, but fun story of a boy and his dad - if you can get past the word "poaching"."
Ricki Marking-Camuto
"One of Dahl’s works that deserves to be more widely known. A whimsical, heartfelt, and captivating tale."
Alex Flood
"This book is not as eccentric as some of Dahl's other books, which was a nice change. It was a pleasant read, but was not one I would oppose or promote strongly."
