“Only Andy Griffiths could combine consummate humour with the ‘task’ of writing. I love how the rules of this book support the theory of ‘no rules’, giving children complete and utter creative license and freedom. I urge you to find a better way to encourage them to write with gusto and commitment. Rules come later—for now, Once Upon a Slime is both the rule breaker and the pen-inspirer. Brilliant.”

“The book is aimed at kids so it’s easy to read and great to dip in and out of. It’s also a great resource for teachers as there are heaps of great writing ideas that are quick and fun ways to get kids’ imaginations flowing. I tried using some of the activities as a school holiday activity and got some really cool writing from the kids.”
