Review # 1 was written on 2016-05-05 00:00:00 Kathleen Cook I really enjoyed these stories! There's nothing like going back and reading something that you haven't read for 7 years or more. It sparked memories from my childhood, and made me remember the times where Paul Jennings' was the coolest author out there. (In Australia, of course). I recommend that everybody reads this- even if you aren't Australian. This book to me is just one of the many iconic books in Australia. Although some of the themes or values have since advanced or since been replaced with others, this is still such a fun read!!!

Review # 2 was written on 2018-01-24 00:00:00 Joe Piro I decided to read this book if short stories because I had read similar books buy Paul Jennings and my brothers had this in the house. The three stories I chose from this book was 'No is Yes' , 'Unhappily Ever After' and 'Frozen Stiff' I chose those three stories because the title sounded interesting. The category On the bingo board I chose for this book was 'three poems or short stories from one anthology' I found this category interesting because there were so many anthologies to chose from and that you had to mention 3 stories you had read in it. My favourite quote from the short story- No is Yes was ' dog is cat, tree is lamp post, ant is elephant and just for fun, boy is girl' I liked this quote because it showed how much Dr Scrape had messed his daughter up and how he has made all her vocabulary opposite of proper English. My favourite quote from the short story- Unhappily Ever After was ' BALD HEAD BROWN WENT TO TOWN, RIDING ON A PONY' ( it was written on a piece of paper) because it was funny and the note was mocking the principal. My favourite quote in the short story- Frozen Stiff was ' Jingle Bells was my best friend ' i like this quote because it was sad but funny at the same time that he would call a cow his best friend. Because they are all funny short stories I didn't learn anything from them. A character I found interesting in the short story- No is Yes was Linda Scrape because she had no knowledge of the outside world and she didn't know how to speak properly. A setting i found interesting from the short story- Unhappily Ever After was the sea that Mr. Brown was in because it made the world turn opposite and it made him see funny things. A character I found interesting from the short story- Frozen Stiff was Jack Thaw because he was very strange how he froze dead animals but I like the character because he helped out the main character in the story.
