this is a gr8 book !!!
dont know about the children but Grandad (me) loved it. Well Done
A clever adaptation of a child's book to include basic principles about the weather. My grandchildren loved it.
My son loved it and really enjoyed the colouring at the back. Can't wait for a sequal :)
What a book!! Bluey is anything but a drip!!!
my little daughter loved this book.
Amazing book. What about a sequal....Bluey The Little Drip and his friend Flounder the fish.
i really felt that this book should win as the content and images are really something else! I am very impressed that this is Mr King's first children's book as it was very entertaining as well as being educational.
Well Done!
An altogether beautiful little book!
My kids love this book!
My son and I loved this book, we would like to read more of Bluey's adventures.
A total disappointment.
Not really worth the money, very plain and boring and my children were confused with the story. It should have been clearer.
a delightfully illustrated book easy to read
A most original book which my granddaughters will enjoy when they open the wrapping at Christmas. Have also bought the predecessor !!
Excellent book for young children to read,the auther should be pleased with the result and lets hope he can bring out another one,if he does we will buy it.
A lovely story which our 5-year-old niece found delightful and educational. Well illustrated it was an ideal bed-time story, particuarly in view of the Christmas theme. We were so taken with this simple story, that we have purchased a further book in the series to go in the "Christmas socking".
This is a good little book and could go on in many different directions.
Very good, ideal for young children.
