This book is very funny. It is suprising how many funny incedents can happen to a small householf. I liked Keith because he is hilarious.

This is about a boy called Tom whose parents cancelled his birthday because there was too much on. Tom is desperate for his party but will is be brilliant or just chaos?

I enjoyed this book as it was full of humour, as soon as one adventure ended, another one started. I would recommend it to other children at my age.

It was ok this was a nonfiction book so it is made up. This book is good for people who like drama. My favourite part was when the pig fell on the dog. I think this book is not the best not the worst. I kinda like it.

I thought it was very funny and I love the fact that the boy is very determined to get his birthday back after his parents cancelling it. Makes me laugh out loud! A lovely book.

It was madness but I loved it because the chicken whisperer bit was so funny. I loved tiny and how she couldn't walk straight even when she was a zebra. My favourite character was Meg and I imagine the cake she made was delicious.

This was a good laugh-out-loud story. I'd recommend it to ages 5-12.

It is fictional and I quite liked the Character Meg because she is my same age and she cared about her brothers birthday and also because she made a wonderful birthday cake it did not have any kind of facts in it but it did have facts about what a lucky birthday is. I would love to recommend this book
