'Isla Fisher is hilarious' DAVID WALLIAMS
Isla Fisher began acting as a child and has worked solidly in
television and film for the past 25 years. She has appeared in Home
And Away, The Great Gatsby and Definitely Maybe, to name a few. She
also studied in Paris to become a clown for two years before
realising that there is not much call for miming 'the wall'!
Isla has played many roles over the years, from a bonkers
bridesmaid in Wedding Crashers to the poster girl for consumerism
in Confessions Of A Shopaholic. But her favourite role has been
being a mummy to daughters Olive and Elula and son Monty. Isla has
been making up stories at bedtime for them every night since they
were born. These books are for her children, as a reminder of all
the fun they have at bedtime reading books and sharing stories.
Eglantine Ceulemans spent her childhood reading Belgian comics. In
2007 she joined the Emile Cohl School of Art in Lyon, France,
transforming her passion for illustration into a vocation. She
loves working in an intuitive way, combining humor and sensitivity,
and using different mediums and techniques. Eglantine currently
resides in Lyon.
Perfect for reading aloud, or for beginner readers... the plentiful
illustrations make a good transition from picture books and add
hugely to children's enjoyment.
*Parents In Touch*
This book deserves five stars because it's so funny and creative. I
would certainly want a babysitter like Marge! My favourite part
was..well...I don't know, I loved it all. It was entertaining,
funny and you just wanted to read on.
*Shell Louise*
'My kids are young but my eldest enjoys books like this one read
out loud to her at bedtime. I love the humour and the funny and
charming stories. I love that Marge is mischievous and causes a lot
of mayhem!'
*A Mum Reviews*
'The Marge In Charge books are lovely - fun and easy to read...The
characters are very relatable, the relationship between Jakey and
Jemima being a typical sibling love/hate friendship!'
*Real Mum Reviews*
'Jack loves the character of Marge - he thinks she is incredibly
funny and yes, he would like a babysitter like her! When I asked
for his thoughts on the series, he said 'Good....No, BRILLIANT!'
and I can tell he is a big fan already. Here's hoping there is more
in the series as Isla Fisher has created some fantastic characters
who we can't to read more about...We are definitely impressed with
these books and these make a great addition to Jack's
bookshelves.'
*I always believe in futures*
'Marge and the Great Train Rescue (Piccadilly Press, £5.99), had us
captivated from page 1'
*Mummy in the City*
Again my daughter loved it. It is well written so that she looks
forward to the next page to find out what happened next. Three
separate stories in the book, each with lots of descriptive words
allowing the reader to fully imagine being there in the story.
*Mojo Mums*
These stories are brilliantly written, full of family-friendly
humour and Marge is the sort of character we truly love to see in
children's books
*Read It Daddy*
Offering manageable stories for school-age children whilst still
offering them the excitement they are looking for within the plot
line. Isla has a way of making whoever is reading the story become
part of the adventure. Marge is funny and outrageous, and who
wouldn't want her as their babysitter
*Boo Roo and Tigger Too*
I'd expected these books to be a little too much for my son to cope
with reading alone seeing that he's only five, but he quickly
proved me wrong. He loved the hilarity of the stories and instantly
warmed to the characters and their high jinks. They make the
perfect bedtime story as it's so easy to dip in and out of them.
And they're quite simply a lot of fun. We certainly loved them
*Mum Reinvented*
Laugh out loud as you turn the pages of the fantastic book with its
humorous heroine
