This is a great book for young children as I am 15 and I enjoyed it. It gives a good message to the reader, as it shows you, that enemies can be friends after all. Very good and I would recommend it to all young readers.
A very good book helping to teach a valuable lesson to young children.
We could not put this book down once we started it, we had to know what the Red conker soup was for. A fantastic story that should be read in schools.
