Enid Blyton books are our favourite to read together as a family. We loved this and my 7 year old looked forward to it each night. The only thing I could fault was the dated stereotypes toward females though we had a discussion about it and it was covered by the fact that the boys are older and therefore have more responsibility. I simply changed or left out some quotes while reading that it was because they were "girls" that they couldn't do things and changed it to "younger".

As always, Enid Blyton delivers yet another lovely story to share with your children. We are Australian, and the discussions and research this book delivered to us about the various animals that we do not have here was second to none. A lovely, heart warming story, slightly dated but still one to share for many years to come.
