Bought this annual for our daughter as a Christmas present, but son aged five loves it as does dad, (age not given). All three members of the family love it, as it is pure bubblegum reading for all. The puzzles are quite entertaining and keep the little one amused for a while, which on Boxing Day you need the time to yourself (well if putting on a buffet dinner is called that). Good value for money? well don't all annuals go on sale after Christmas at less than half price, and yes we all complain but Christmas wouldn't be christmas for children without them would it?
