Reviews

  • “As an adult reader I think I got even more out of it than the kids did. Apart from the retro format, which echoes that of the comic annuals I grew up with and looked forward to finding in my Xmas stocking, there is enough factual content about World War 1 to satisfy anyone who might criticise a child for not reading "proper books". Flying Furballs Take-Off! is as proper as it gets, but the facts are presented in the context of a colourful and very entertaining whole. Surely the best way of learning!”

    Kiwi Reviews NZ

  • “Flying Furballs Take-Off is a brightly coloured, jam-packed modern version of the Children’s Annuals published in the 50’s and 60’s. Whether you’re already a fan of the Flying Furballs series of 9 books or are just discovering young pilot Claude D’Bonair and his exciting adventures, Take Off is full of fun.”

    What Book Next

  • “This book had me grinning with the clever puns and jokes, and it was interesting to learn new things with the fun little diagrams, facts and technical drawings. I really liked the puzzles, codes and games it included… but I was a bit disappointed when I finished it because I wanted to keep reading it.”
