Find out what Mumsnetters thought of children's book Marge and the Pirate Baby by Isla Fisher

Thank you so much for this book ,my daughter has been reading it and its so nice to hear her laughing out loud to this wonderful story that is so funny ! The little girl who lives next door wants it when we are finished with it so we will pass it on ,

This is a very funny read. My 7 year old daughter devoured it quickly but we're now reading it together every evening. I love the way jemima tells the story and as my daughter has a little brother, it really is very realistic and true to the relationship. As for Marge, she is larger than life and full story f funny ideas. A great book for children.

According to my 6 years old who finishes the book in about a week, it is a fun book and easy to read. He told me that it is an adventure story and super fun!

My 7 year old son absolutely loved the book, he read it in one day.
He told me it was really funny and recommended it to his 8 year old sister.

What a lovely book. My 9 year old devoured it. Lovely large font, great illustrations and fundamentally a wonderful story - good job Isla!

Thank you for our copy of the book. My daughter has just finished reading it and she throughly enjoyed it. My daughter is 6 years old and the book was perfect for her age group. She found the book very funny especially the lost treasure story when they had gone swimming and they got ready on a tree. I'm positive that this book will be read numerous times. Thank you again for our free copy.

Marge and the Pirate Baby was received by me last week, and is already a big hit in the school library where I volunteer. It is the second book in the series (i haven't read the first) by actress Isla Fisher about the pint sized, rainbow haired adventurer Marge who can also talk to animals. It is full of lovely drawings by Eglantine Ceulemans and is three separate stories, ideal for children who are just starting to read chapter books by themselves. Full of humour and is sure to be a big hit.

We received our copy last week many thanks .My 5 year old and I have been reading the three stories together over the past 7 days and I'm happy to say big hit so much so that she has asked if she can use her pocket
money to go to the bookshop for more . This is our first book by Isla Fisher
and obviously not our last The books are full of humour and mischief
and ideal for this age group

I have read the first little story, what an imagination Isla Fisher has! Great book, it's actually pretty entertaining for adults to read too!

Entertaining read full of humour and fun. Can imagine there will be many more books to come in the series with this one being the second book. Plenty more opportunities for stories in the future. Many thanks.

DD aged 7 devoured this in one evening before bed. She found it really funny. The best bit was when the girl dived in ( I have not read it so her words). Thank you for choosing us, a huge success here! I will look out for some other Isla Fisher books as the first one DD has read.

Thanks so much for the book, what a lovely surprise! My 7 year old started reading it last night and loved it! His favourite part so far is where the baby spilt the juice (so he tells me!). I will read some with him today so I can see what it is like too. Thanks again and I will post some more feedback when I have read some too!

I read this book with my 5 year old last week. The language is perfect for this age group and lots of slapstick humour. Marge is a wonderful character - just the kind of babysitter every child wishes they could have. A really fun read!

Following on from my post above, one word to describe the book - fantastic!!! The capers were great fun and had us both chuckling. Have now got to go out and get the first book, although I know this one will be read again!!

Thank you for the delightful book. My six year old has started reading & loves the jokes & the drawings so cleverly done. All children seem to like to read about naughty kids as in the naughty little cousin. Family fun adventures are just the thing & I am glad to have discovered the author Isla Fisher.

Thank you very much for my book. We read half of it last night, it really is very funny. The way Jemima narrates the story, her choice of words are exactly right for the age group, especially the way she describes things Jakeypants (her younger brother) has done. I'm sure the other half of the book will be equally as funny. Definitely a good addition to the book shelf. I shall certainly be buying the first book and will look out for others that's Isla Fisher may write in the future.

Thank you very much for the book which arrived today. Knowing my son it will all be read by the end of the day (he's a bookworm just like his Mum) so we will aim to post our feedback shortly. Thanks again.
