This book is as funny and crazy as the title sounds. An easy and enjoyable read with some great illustrations to complment it.

This is such a beautiful book visually. The illustrations are divine.
The main characters in the book are brother and sister, who often argue and fall out. One day the little boy's friend shows him his cool new goldfish, and he falls in love with them. He offers every toy he has to swap for the goldfish, but his friend is not interested ... until he offers to swap his dad for them. His friend agrees, and when the boy realises that the fish are boring and he wants his dad back - he finds that it's not that simple ...
A funny, light-hearted read, with an underlying message about the unbreakable bond of family.
Recommend to all primary age children, as each year group can get something different from this.
Did I mention the illustrations?!

I didn't like very much because it was all about swapping and getting someone back. The best character was Dad because I liked that he was lazy and read the newspaper. I would not recommend it.
