L' incredibile Broccoli Boy

**Interview with my 5 and 7 year old kids** Me: What did you think of this book? 5: Every single bit - awesome. 7: Same what Molly said. Me: Who was your favourite character and why? 7: I liked the bully guy because he was big and tough. 5: I like the girl that have a green face. Me: What was your favourit Leggi tutto

Don your cape and soar into this smart, well-written book that parodies and deconstructs the superhero trope. While some will think it a blast to read, others will want it Gamma Bombed. It's silly, cartoonish, and a bit like watching the "Laurel and Hardy" TV show - two people acting stupid over and Leggi tutto

At first it is a bit boring but then it gets in action awesome author great job

I really enjoyed this - it made me laugh and even though it is a children's book, there were enough surprises and very little predictabili Leggi tutto

This book, for all its supposed adventures, is actually quite boring. The protagonist turns green and walks the streets at night. That's it. Far from outstanding, it was rather disappointing.
