A book with a fun twist for the ending. Children gripped by this read aloud.

It was quite good. It was just about a snoklum, it was funny because he went super small.
It was fiction because no one go actually really small. I liked the badger and the bunny, and all the animals.
Nope I will not recommend it.

I would not read this book again, it was very repetitive.

This was a very hard book to go through with Ashvika, but she enjoyed maki her own story with the pictures and made the sounds she assumed the characters would make.
She laughed when she realised the big monster was actually a small monster
Recommended- 8/10

It was funny because he got small. I liked the rabbit who stood up to him

At the end before he turned small I wanted him to run away, so people didn't laugh at him.

The book is funny and the big scary snorklum can become the scared one

I loved the book because the snorklum was worried about getting home by midnight in case he shrinks. He forgot and instead gathered up the animals to show them his strength by knocking down the trees making the birds fly off them. Then, midnight came and he shrunk.

This children enjoyed this book and it was a nice take on the whole being scared of monsters at night scenario. We recommend especially for children struggling with night time fears.

I liked it when the animals tricked the Snorklum and then he shrank away down till he was very small. I thought it was funny when he was tiny.

This book was fiction.
I liked this book because when it was dark, the Snorklum shrank and turned into a little mouse with horns and the others were not scared of him anymore. The mole, rabbit, badger and birds were brave and not scared anymore of the Snorklum when he was little.
