Not worthy of the great Mr Ahlberg
|
|
I'm a big Allan Ahlberg fan, but this book was a severe disappointment. It struck me as self-indulgent: overburdened with deliberate author intrusion, asides and unfunny jokes, eg, I was a child myself once. The language seems to be pitched at adults more than children: 'no one has a monopoly on the ludicrous. The tale itself isn't particularly entertaining either. There are far better AA books to put your pennies into. Give this one a miss, or have a look through it at the bookshop.

Good book
|
A boy is called upon to deliver a wolf, asheep, and a lettuceto a nearby town. It sounds easy, but there is a mystery to unravel.
What really happened? Each one of the witnesses tell a different story, each one when they are the hero!
Then the wolf decides he's hungry while the writer is talking to him....
P.S. Too many quotes!!

The Riddle Review
|
|
My seven year old son wrote of this book (a Christmas present): The riddle to solve is hard without the answer!
You will love this book.It will be brilliant!
This book is all about a boy taking a wolf, a sheep and a lettuce to places in a cart. It is a very funny book. Even the lettuce tells his story.
