Reviews
“… creepy, disgusting and absolutely hilarious.” – My Best Friends Are Books
“If you or your little one are tired of reading about cute creatures rendered in pastel hues then this picture book is the very antithesis of such wholesome goodness … James Foley’s pictures are suitably creepy.” – Bookseller+Publisher
“Be careful as you’ll die laughing reading this one … clever, witty and hilarious by the shovel full.” – Georgie Donahey, Creative Kids Tales

Hey James, I am a student of Caroline Frank and we have read the book. It is funny but not as childish as I thought is was

Hi Diana, glad you liked it. Maybe wait until the future grandkids are a little grown up before reading it to them – it’s not a bedtime story 😉

Hi there BPPSbooklover! Glad to hear you enjoyed the book. Thanks for visiting my site 🙂
Hi James Foley,
Does the boy who owned Bradley have a name?
If yes, what is it?
Hi Alex, good question. He never had a name in the first book, but I think in the sequel (There’s Something Weird About Lena) you find out his name is Joe.
