Customer Reviews

one of our favorite children's books!

When my girls were growing up, this was one of their most favorite books - they never tired of hearing it or reading it themselves when they were able. The story of the puppy trying to find its own identity plus the wonderful illustrations make for delightful reading.

Immense fun for all ages

I have recently discovered my childhood copies of Frank Muir's What-a-mess. Flipping through the pages I was amazed by the wit and the intricate detail in the pictures. Unlike numerous children stories What-a-Mess actually has an imaginative story line. As a child and an adult I have found it impossibly not to fall in love with the adventurous, adorable afghan puppy. Unfortunately What-a-Mess is now out of print but if you find a copy in a book shop it is a purchase you certainly won't regret. Due to the intricity of the pictures the book is suitable and holds interest to all ages.
