One of the early reviews for the book
Bought this to read to grandchildren on Kindle. They loved it! Brilliant idea to have short little stories like these. Buying the paperback version as well so they can read themselves when a bit older.

That’s why 6 minutes is perfect in children’s time = 10 or 15 🙂

Nice to meet Doug, Sally. His books sound lovely. Did you notice the list of his books is all squashed together with no spaces? It makes it a bit difficult to read.
