by: Norman Hunter

July 03, 2003
A series of very funny short stories about Professor Branestawm, the stereotypical mad professor, his long suffering housekeeper and his dimwitted but loyal friend, Colonal Deddshott.

The stories themselves are marvels of invention, incredibly tightly plotted and simply but delightfuly composed. The basic plotline is always that the professor invents something, it goes horribly wrong with unexpected consequences and all is well in the end. The very human relationships between the characters ... Read More:

If you are a beano fan,this the book for you.
If you are not,it's the book for you anyway.
I think if you don't know it before you read it you may not like it as much but if you've read even 1 before, you'll love it, like I did.Though I read about 10 000 before it came out, but I know a lot of people who read it as their 1st or 2nd Beano and they loved it.Not as much as me,of course-you can t love it as much as me, but they loved it anyway.The Beano is a funny comic where you can see Dennis the Menace ...

England Is Truly a Magical Place

I love this book, so does my 9-year old.

Written with engaging rythym, it is jam packed with historical facts aptly crafted in bite-size pieces. We follow the maps, chew them over, digest small portions and always come back for seconds. We read, we chuckle, we talk. We chuckle again, we dip in and out and talk and talk and talk. All the while we're constantly learning from this wonderful book.

If you want your child to have an outstanding education BUY THIS BOOK. You might end up winning ... Read More:

Calling Doctor Amelia Bedelia (I Can Read Book. 2, Reading with Help)
Best Selling > Books > Humour
by: Hamish Parish

November 23, 2004
I do not think I will ever get tired of Amelia Bedelia, the literal-minded housekeeper. If anything, I am rather surprised that it has taken this long for her to invade a doctor's office. The results might be predictable, but that does not make them any less enjoyable as Amelia Bedelia deals with hoarse throats, drawing blood, and the proverbial pain in the neck. However, if there is one thing our lady of literality knows, it is the right way to treat patients, especially when they become impatient patients. ... Read More:

After buying this book for friends' kids aged 3 and 4, I bought this for some older kids (age 7 and 9). But then I thought that they were too old for it. I shouldn't have worried.

The kids loved it and and competed to see how many poems they could recite on their own. And by the end of the week we were ALL saying "Don't! Don't! Don't do that!"

Brilliant!
