A humorous tale that will truly get kids to laugh. The series of mishaps and twists keep the reader entertained till the very end. Cute characters and weird habits are all part of the fun and the plot moves along nicely so the young reader isn't given a chance to get bored. I highly recommend Weezlegog for the mid primary school age group. I know what my niece and nephew are getting for their birthdays this year!
