This is my kind of book: hilarious, enjoyable and very creative. The author kept me hooked throughout with the funny plots and cleverly drawn illustrations – which to me is what makes this series of books. One of the many plots I found enjoyable was when one of the characters, Buster Jones, draws all over the class cabinet where all the teachers’ faces were and drew moustaches, fangs and horns on them. I also loved the bit where Tom draws a picture of his teacher, Mr Fullerman, with a big bottom and calls him “Mr FullerBUM”. The characters were spot on and reminded me of people in my old school. A great read. I cant WAIT for the next one. Good things: Get excited for a week's worth of drawing, doodling, games, stories and activities in this fantastic new illustrated offering from bestselling author Liz Pichon! Mr Fullerman has a class assignment: a family tree! Tom's ready to learn all about the Gates family, his friends and a furry creature (or two!). Readers are introduced to Tom’s best mate Derek, who is also his neighbour, and band mate in the cool band Dog Zombies! We meet Tom’s grumpy older sister Delia, who is on the receiving end of a lot of Tom’s cheeky and audacious pranks. Not forgetting Tom’s annoying arch enemy - Marcus, who he has to sit next to everyday in class… Tom navigates all the ups and downs of growing up, making friends, getting through school and avoiding as much homework as possible!a b "Pichon, Liz, (born 16 Aug. 1963), author and illustrator, since 1990".
