My immediate reaction to this book was 'yuk'; it is printed on awful paper and the artwork is, to say the least, crude. But the reaction I got from most of the five and six-year-olds who read it was quite different: they thought it was great fun; partly I think, because of a feeling of one-upmanship - they know what ought to happen in 'The Three Bears' and the other story and rhymes which Morris 'mis-tells' - and partly because the two animals shout at one another.

The format of the book is similar to the I Can Read series: properly phrased text and clear well-spaced print, but it does not come anywhere near the high quality production of the World's Work paperbacks.
