Good book but some sections were a little boring.

I enjoyed reading this book as it made me laugh and I liked the story. My favourite part was Docter Noel Zone draining the swimming pool because the water was apparently to dangerous. I am looking forward to reading the next book in the collection.

It was really really funny because it was about a crazy person who is afraid of pretty much everything. It had ways to figure out how to tell if people are vampires, and a page 9 scorpion, plus comics too.

It's very funny book to read. It's literally explaining that the danger is everywhere! I like Dr Noel Zone because he is the funniest. I would recommend this book for age 7+.

A funny handbook for avoiding danger.

This book is very funny and my favourite character was Noel Zone because of his love of cabbages. The book is not a story. It pretends to be an information book on safety but it's not true- it is just for fun. There are lots of silly animals including the toothbrush snake and the piano walrus. I would recommend this book to someone else because of Noel and his cabbages.

It was funny because he needs to be feeded worms from the eagle in its secret eagle cave in the forest and it was on the page what said are you against fun. Doctor Noel Zone he is very funny and he has a neighbour, Gretel, and he said be careful, Gretel and he hasn't heard anything from Gretel. I would definitely recommend it.
