Reviews
It's really funny. I like that there's lots of different stories. But I'd like some of the stories to be longer.
I thought this book was very interesting and it had advice about how you should behave.
A lovely collection of short stories from Enid Blyton. Rather dated as you might expect from tales written in the forties, but a pleasant read nonetheless. Recommended for younger children of around 10.
So many books in one but my favrouite is probably the one with the strawberry faced king love Enid blyton
I liked how everything was weird and magical

There are lots of diffferent stories about summer.
I would recommend this book to 8-12
This book was made up of lots of stories and I enjoyed reading them with Mummy. They are very good stories and I would recommend other boys and girls read them.
Although the book is long I've read this while I've been in bed and recorded my reading for school. There's some lovely stories in there and i would recommend to a friend
These books are excellent to read as we travelled around this summer. We read them at park stops, on the beach and whilst travelling.
I loved all the little stories especially the ones with magic and adventure in them. I would recommend this book.
I really liked the fact it had 27 stories which made it so different to the other books.
I like lots of the stories in this book.
I really enjoyed this set of books in one! Its description is really wild and i love it!

I liked all of the people!
I woud like my child to read this book.
Really good
They are great stories and great to read in the summer.
I like to predict what is going to happen and making up a bit of the story.
I liked lots of short stories, particularly the one about the dog!
Being a fan of Enid Blyton, I love this book as it has small stories. With its nice tongue twisters and interesting stories, I would recommend it to everyone.
Nice stories but some of them are a bit boring. I liked the one about the elves with the different numbers of buttons on their waistcoats to match their names. Nice to read with Mummy.
I got this book as a present from my gran and grandpa. I did enjoy reading it but I think that it might be more suited to someone a bit younger as I thought the writing was quite big on the pages and there wasn't really any new words for me to learn while I was reading. It wasn't really very challenging. I did enjoy the stories though.
I love the mixture of stories.
This book is very good because the stories are very funny.I liked finding out what would happen to the child(ren).I also enjoyed the adventure each person has.This book is very good and I would recommend it to anyone that likes adventurous stories.I think that this book would be better if it was one big story,not lots of small stories.
Really good . I found this one in a take all the books you want sale . An epic book .
I loved all the little stories in this book, the message out of the whole book was be kind and you will be rewarded.
I really did not like.
My fav tale in the book was 'a story of magic strawberries '. This is a book of fun fiction adventures to enjoy
