PUBLISHED: Australia : HarperCollins, c1998.
PLOT:
When a boy swaps his dad for his friend's goldfish, chaos ensues. Mum is not impressed and demands that he swap them back, but in the meantime, his friend has swapped his dad for something else. The boy and his sister go on a hunt to get their dad back.
REVIEW:
Very funny. Lots of subtleties to the story that may go over the heads of some kids, but enjoyable all the same; even more so for the child who gets the jokes. It would lend itself well for children to create their own stories about something that keeps getting swapped for something else and how one might hunt it down.
AGE: 4-10.
RATING: 5 stars
