A classic children’s book from best-loved Bill’s New Frock author, former Children’s Laureate Anne Fine. Perfect for readers aged between 7 and 9 and fans of David Walliams’ The Midnight Gang and Pamela Butchart’s Wigglesbottom Primary series.

Philip has an incredible imagination, and when he lets it run riot in school one day it really gets his classmates thinking. Purple cows … brains in pots … a clever and beautiful chicken … What will they think of next?! Anne Fine’s fun school stories have been delighting children for more than 20 years, winning her awards such as the Smarties Book Award and Carnegie Medal along the way. ‘Fine has a rare genius for building a funny, enriching and moving story around the nuts and bolts of school life’ The Times

I think this book is a really good one. But what I would say is that is is not suitable for children under five years old because it has a lot of long and hard words to read but apart from that I personally think this book is a perfect.

This was a fantastic fiction book with loads of silly but fun ideas. It was a very good book writen by Anne Fine. My absoulute favou rite characters were Astrid a girl and a boy called Philip. The story is about a boy who doesn't ever join in class discussions when he pretends he lives on Planet Fruitcake this all changes. From then on he joins in every class dicussion..
