2008-07-31 Probably best for a die-hard fan

This is not an annual in the true sense of the word (No quizes, wordsearches or short stories).

There is an awful lot of very small writing in this storybook and a comic strip, so it probably best you don't give this to younger child.

Older children (and adults) will love this book though.
