Fantastic book, my kids love these stories

Pamela Butchart is one the best writers of laugh-out-loud children’s fiction. If you haven’t read any of her numerous books then you are definitely missing out.Get ready for more mayhem in year 2 as Butchart presents three new stories about Miss. Riley and class 2R. This is book 6 in the Wigglesbottom Primary series. Don’t be put off if you haven’t read the other five books, you’ll meet all the children right at the beginning and then there are three individual stories that will have you laughing out loud. The stories are illustrated by Becka Moor and whilst she uses a very limited colour palette (shades of green, grey and white), there is something very appealing and charming about them.The cause of the chaos this time round…rabbits (who may or may not be planning to invade the school) have taken over the Grassy Bit outside 2R’s classroom window, a mysterious man who arrives at school and is causing Miss. Riley to do some bizarre hand-dancing, and a terrifying music teacher who may be a witch. Every day is different at primary school!Butchart perfectly captures the everyday occurrences at primary school and how the imagination of children turns the mundane into incredible and wacky stories. The children always think things are much better or worse than they actually are. I love that Butchart has assembled a class of children that show the reader different ethnicities.These reads are perfect for children who want to read something with more text than a picture book but still want lots of illustrations. Whether children are reading them with an adult or reading independently these are sure to provoke many laughs and make for thoroughly enjoyable reading. Recommended for 6+.

Wigglesbottom Primary,’ is back with another three adventures guaranteed to have you giggling under your school desk. This series has been phenomenally successful in school and I have had to buy multiple copies for the library. A school where the unexpected is just waiting for you around the corner, with all sorts of shenanigans waiting to be discovered. From an invasion of bunnies on the school playground cancelling break time, to an identity mix up with a school inspector. There is so much fun to be had in each and every story. This series is a perfect blend of silliness and fun, it puts a huge smile on my face every time I read a new adventure. Pamela excels in telling school stories that are effortlessly diverse and ridiculously funny, which Becka captures superbly in her hilarious and brilliantly observed illustrations. If you haven’t already read this series you are seriously missing out, they really deserve to be top of the class.

My 6 years old came cross the book at a book swap during the book week at school and abs loved it! She finds it easy enough to read independently, (I d say she is an average to good reader for her age) and very very funny:) We have since bought and she has read all the other titles in this series!
