Funny What Kids Say

Would you listen to Educating Jack again? Why?

A Very funny story that makes you wonder what your own offsprings are saying and doing that would make you laugh at the funny side of life

Who was your favorite character and why?

Ruby or Vera

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Very much so

Any additional comments?

I'm never in favour of authors reading their own books, but it this case it is almost perfect

worst book I have purchased,

I found the book really annoying, from the narrators voice, to how it was written, no flow to the story, it's she said this, & Mrs A said that. in fact I could finish it
