I'm Not Going out There! By Paul Bright


'I'm Not Going Out There!' is one of my absolute favourite children's books which we have read time and time again and yet it still doesn't fail to make us smile and laugh!
All about a boy who is hiding under his bed and afraid to come out,  this book has everything that children love inside it's covers; from witches and a dinosaur, to ballet-dancing monsters and a headless ghost. The book is great for abolishing monster fears and suchlike, as it turns out it's not all of these things that the boy is scared of but something else entirely that the children find very amusing!
Perfect for both boys and girls, there is something to entertain every child on every page.
The text rhymes throughout with a lovely rhythm and gives plenty of opportunity for the parent to use expression and build up the tension. The illustrations are very nicely done with lots of fun and colourful characters.
All in all, a very positive and funny book that will delight and amuse both children and adults and is one to keep and read time and time again!

My score: 5/5   Kids score: 5/5
