No trouble to read this book

This is my sons favourite in Babette Cole's very funny 'Trouble With' series. The trouble with the dad in this book is that he has such a boring job that he spends all his spare time in the shed making robots, which all go wrong, with hilarious consequences. This reminds my sons of their own dad, who also spends much of his spare time in the workshop making things, though happily his don't often go wrong. This delightful story has a happy ending, Dad gets rich and doesn't have to do his boring job any more, so he and his son can spend all their time making robots, while Mum lies on a recliner in the sun eating chocolate eclairs (I am still waiting for this to happen to us). The great thing about these books is that they are fun for adults to read as well as children, amusing stories with wonderful illustrations, no matter how many times I am asked to read them to my sons, I never get bored.

The title is very TRUE

I think this book is very true. Its about a DAD who likes inventing crazy things. And hence this causes trouble. And a rich man in Egypt buys all the inventions for a lot of money and the DAD becomes very RICH. A Very Funny book which reminds of Tim the Toolman from the Home Improvement TV show.
