Magically heals hand foot and mouth disease

The only thing that helps my 5 year old to take his mind off the pain and itch of being ill. And we all enjoy listening in the car. Definitely one for all the family. Only caution: the mention of firearms and SPOILER ALERT pelly getting shot could be a bit much for the youngest listeners.

great story

im 9 and I love the bit where the monkey dances and the boy dances back and the bit where they're cleaning windows and the man shouts that the giraffe can't reach the high windows...when he can!

fantastic ! ^^

absolutely loved it, not only is this one of my favourites books by Roald Dahl but it is subliminated by the Hugh Laurie's fabulous voice.

in other words it's a perfect match and a pleasure for ears and a feast for the mind ^^
