Excellent for bedtimes - By: Meg, 20 Aug 2007 
My eldest enjoyed this from the age of about 18 months upwards. It is a nice gentle read for bedtime. The only drawback is that it has many mythical creatures, which required some explanation (Mummy, what's a ghost?).
Our favourite bedtime read - By: sarah@mchattie.co.uk, 12 Feb 2002 
My 2 year old son, who never sits still, sat transfixed when this was read on children's tv. I then purchased it &in fact it has been read so often that we no longer need the book. Grandpa, Mummy & George all know it off by heart. The beautiful illustrations & wonderful rhythm of the story make this a magical read for toddlers. Mike Inkpen is a national treasure.
Great book to read, funny and easy to teach the words to - By: , 31 Jan 2002 My two year old loves this book, & can recite some pages off after only having it read three times.
It is funny, & disperses myths of horrible giants,trolls, ghosts & goblins, by adding humour & friendship to them.
My daughter can remember all the animalsin the wood & their noises.
She will insist on singing "LullabyeLullabyeOOO" though, another very good Mick Inkpen book, he writesin a way that children understand..also read "Nothing" another excellent book
princess's bedtime story - By: Mrs. Sarah Robinson, 20 Aug 2001 my two little girls (ages 4 & 2) have a passion for all things princessy, & this makes a delightful, funny alternative to the usual collection of cinderellas & ballerinas. the little princess is very cute & curly & we all roar with laughter as we try to make snoring noises at the end. a huge hit, got it out from the library time & again & at last we have a copy of our own.
The best ever bedtime book! - By: naomi.marples@zoom.co.uk, 20 Aug 2001 I bought this book for my 2 year old & she loves it! The vocabulary & repeated phrases draw young children into the story. Mick Inkpen's usual exciting illustrations complete this wonderful bedtime book.
