As a child I read "What A Mess" and did not discover there were more books in this series until I was an adult visiting Hay On Wye. All of the picture books in this series tell great stories and the pictures are beyond cute and clever. NO matter your age these books are a definite must read. ( )

Frank Muir's work excels in subplots and 'hidden' stories in the illustration details. This book is my all-time favourite for all the tiny drama going on in background to the main story of a puppy being harassed and intimidated by the "cat next door". The detailed concept is brilliant and just as suitable for adults as for children. ( )
