Kids loved it!
It was a great opportunity to talk about the war in a child friendly manner while listening to a great story.

Brilliant, Well Written Story
My son loved this book. It is extremely well written. It is slso extremely well presented. We loved the different characters and the sound effects. All ir the characters voices were so cool, except Erics. The difficulty with Erics voice is that he did NOT sound like a boy, definitely not a 10 or 11 year old boy. This bothered my son as well (who is 7 and sounds far more mature than Eric did). We still listened to the entire book and loved it but Eric's voice bothered us throughout it.
Personally I preferred Grandpa's Great Escape. I think the boy's voice in that was read by David Williams and he did an excellent job.

Epic overall
This book has to be one of the best I've ever read by David Walliams. Set in WWII, the story of an orphan and his great uncle rescue a gorilla from London zoo and get into all kinds of perilous adventure.

Another bestseller! I really enjoyed it, though it is a bit sad, so I would recommend it for ages 9-13.
