Throw in wizards, dragons, witches and jousting and you've got the perfect formula for a great kids read. Sir Maxwell is the perfect companion for this set of thrilling tales, because although he may not be the cleverest or the strongest knight in the kingdom, but his bravery and complete inability to accept his limitations make for an engaging and fun-packed romp.

Her witty, "tell-it-straight" writing style conjures up images you can't help but laugh at, often accompanied by photos that speak a thousand (usually comical) words. Carol provides the reader with "UNconventional tips" on a whole range of themes such as housework and hospitals, illness and injury, Nerf guns and nudity, safety concerns and sex, friendship, faith and a great many more. Moments of eternal embarrassment are interspersed with flashes of comic/parenting genius, and every reader will find a nugget or three (or twenty!) to inspire them. A cracking read, and highly recommended.
