| | Customer Reviews: Wicked! (from the director of THE LION KING) (08 September 2008)Who knew that all those pesky children would make such lovely dishes? Really, my wife and I have been trying these recipes and the neighborhood has never been quieter. With Martin Howard's demented prose and Colin Stimpson's muculent illustrations, no area of bad taste has been left unexplored. I can't say I'd recommend this book- my mouth's too full of Kate and Sidney pie! Yum! Redhill, UK (03 September 2008)What a masterpiece ! Hilarious book with superb illustrations. Perfect gift for all ages - I predict a Christmas bestseller ! Inspired! (02 September 2008)My nine year old son, a very reluctant reader, was given this book and has hardly put it down. It is a perfect combination of excellent writing, with 'rude' bits for children and something a bit more sophisticated for adults, and marvellous illustrations, which bring the whole thing alive. A great buy for any child from 8 - 80. Brilliant (31 August 2008)This is a fantastic book, well written, very funny and the illustrations are pure brilliance. It charges the imagination from the first page through to the humorous advertisements at the back. Its a must for any childs bookcase. Great enjoyment for both children and adults. outrageously funny (08 August 2008)This book blew my socks off. I bought it for my children as a bedtime story book and could barely get through it for laughing so much. The humour appeals to both adults and children so it is a joy for me to read and the children adore it too. The illustrations are delightful and the characters of the individual witches are hilarious. My favourite by far is Esmelia Smiff - the insightful, vicious and downright rude editor who comments on the other witches recipes and lifestyles with unreserved disdain. There are so many quotable parts of this book, it is difficult to choose but if I had to narrow it down, my absolute - almost wet myself from laughing moment is in the Irish witches recipe - Iris O'Rambly. "WHen Irish eyes are confiscated by the police." Buy it, read it, get the joke and laugh with me. Childrens books like this are one in a million. | |
