The top-of-the-class, extra special 20th book from multi-million copy selling author and illustrator Liz Pichon. A feel-good, laugh-out-loud, packed-with-pictures Tom Gates story! It’s TIDY UP Saturday, but Tom is VERY busy relaxing and not helping out much. Until he spots the art box of his dreams in a shop window and everything changes. He’s suddenly focused on earning extra pocket money and helping with EVERYTHING. But nothing quite goes to plan. Washing and shrinking Delia’s clothes isn’t a good start. And the hours spent carefully cleaning cars with Derek are ruined overnight when a storm hits Oakfield Town, causing even MORE chaos. At this rate it’s going to take a MILLION years for Tom to get the art box of his dreams… or will it?

I love tom gates so much If you like tom gates as well, nice delia can sometimes be nice, and at the end, its a happy ending.
I loved this book. It’s very funny especially the pants tree. The pictures make the read so much more fun than just a text book x
This book is about Tom and his friend Derek trying to get pocket money to buy the art box of their dreams but then a huge storm called Storm Delia hits Oakfield town and a campaign starts to get the roof fixed so they have to change their plan!
It’s really good, if it was possible I would rate it 10 stars!
This was so SILLY..Tiddle’s nicknames are just...and the ART BOX SOUNDS SO FUN LIKE BRO I AM DEFINITELY JEALOUS..also..THE SNAKE MADE A COMEBACK LIKE..SLAY. The pure CHAOS of when Tom just went to go get a breakfast made me speechless. Drawing on shirt actually sounds really fun!..I should try it sometime..also..PANTS SHOULD NOT MAKE A BIG DEAL LIKE BRO..HOW..JUST….HOW DID THAT HAPPEN…? Also the way Mr Fullerman and Mr Keen are just like “LET’S BE BETTER THAN THEM!!!..But it isn’t a competition…”and “OUR METER IS SO MUCH BETTER THAN THEIRS…Totally not a competition..TOTALLY…”
This is a very funny book about how Tom is being very lazy and not helping out with clean-up day. However, he sees an art box of his dreams and decides to help out to earn enough pocket money. A fun read for all kids!
