Funny, easy to read and very engaging for the little ones. I really liked the illustrations.

Marge In Charge by Isla Fisher is a very amusing book suitable for youngsters from about 7 years to roughly 9 years old. Foster child aged 8 years old thoroughly enjoyed it, and found it easy to read having three short stories. Suitable for boys and girls having Jake and Jemima in the stories having lots of fun. Would recommend.

I adored this book, it was very witty and absorbing! This will make a fantastic choice for younger readers. Very imaginative and a decent size to keep kids occupied on a long journey.

“Funny!!!”
Loved this book, such a funny and engaging read!
This will make a brilliant series of books for younger readers...
I can think if quite a few children who would love Marge to babysit!
Certainly recommended.

We borrowed this from our neighbour and it was great, a good book to read out loud! Even I thought it was funny!

Cailin7 · 18/07/2016 14:19

We got this out the local library and thought it was very funny, possibly more suitable for able readers 6 to 7 as the text is not taxing and story lengths are short.

We liked the fact it was three short stories, and the style is perfect for reading aloud at bedtime. Highly amusing, very imaginative and well written. We loved it, and are definitely looking forward to the next set of Marge in Charge stories!
