Reviews

Children and parents will cackle with recognition at this story of Lily who likes to ask questions…Camp and Ross have the knack of making stories like real life, but much funnier.

Independent

Hilarious.

The Bookseller

Children aged 4 and over will love the book, identifying with the heroine and enjoying the slightly scary nature of the aliens in a safe way. It’s a great book to read aloud, and reminds you to have fun each time your child asks ‘Why?’.
