GoodBookStall Review:
Well you can’t review a book like this without actually making the model can you? I found the pieces pushed out very easily, and that the little ‘lug holes’ needed pushing out with something small – a pencil point would do. The model became more and more stable as it grew, but a child would definitely need help to begin with and the adult would have to be very restrained and let the child do as much as possible: the adult urge to help could be overwhelming otherwise. The text is very simple but adequate and the smiley figures will delight any child, even the crocodile looks friendly. Hours of potential fun.
