Hilarious!
We loved the books so having the Audiobooks to listen to in the car has been brilliant. Narrated very engagingly by the author and exactly the book version (my kids would notice, they know the books word for word) with extra silly sound effects. It's such a great price to get all 8 books in one. Highly recommend for kids age 6/7 and above - and their parents, if you like silly jokes too!

It was so good and I love going to sleep to hearing some stories that I didn’t know. It’s great for children who like Mr Gum stories and I had to put a timer otherwise it would go on until about 6 o’clock in the morning, so I suggest you get it and it is worth it and I forgot how much it was but it’s worth the money and it’s 10 HOURS! how long is that!

The funniest story we have listened to.
I am 9 years of age and I thought it was hilarious.
As a parent it was funny to listen to as well but probably only in 1 - 2 hour bursts!! Funny but quite intense and chaotic!
