The latest and greatest of delightful and poignant offerings from legend Morris Gleitzman, does not, disappoint!
(As if that is even possible!)

I adored Too Small To Fail- Morris Gleitzman. The protagonist of this particular novel, like his predecessors, is endearing, adorable and utterly loveable. My arms still ache with the need to give this little guy a hug.

Amidst the adventure, excitement and intrigue of a wonderfully plotted story line, the message of this powerful little book is clear. Money, does not, buy that which is most precious to our children.

Our time.

If this absolute gem of a book is not on your library shelves yet, the only thing I have to say to you is… WHY NOT? :)

    Very cute – looking forward to reading this. Love all Gleitzman.

    I don’t want to be one of those horrible picky people and I don’t meant to be rude, but you might want to check your punctuation (commas in particular). Also, there is not apostrophe in Authors (in your sidebar). I’m sorry to leave this in a comment, and please delete it if you want. But given this is an education blog I thought I’d better bring your attention to the errors.

    Thanks Amanda! On the contrary, I am more than happy to leave this comment posted. I know I am terrible at grammar and punctuation! Pretty sure people have figured that out already. I will try very hard to watch my punctuation in the future, but I cant make any promises… :)
