Birthday boy as bedtime reading
Loved reading this to my 6 year old son. David Baddiel tells a great story. Also like the underlying moral, family is more important than possessions.

Great book
My ten year old is a creature of habit, if she likes a book by one author, she will like all their books! She started reading ‘The parent agency’ but she didn’t get to finish it, we are a military family do the book stayed with her old school So Santa got it for her for Christmas, along with all David Baddiel’s books, a funny and enjoyable book.
