Review
Private - Keep Out! should rank alongside Just William as an indispensible part of the children's canon. Alas, and for no better reason than I can discern than the vagaries of chance and/or the misalignment of planets on publication, it has so far failed to find to find its rightful place. So let me state for the record: the public has been deprived of one (or three if you count the sequals, which I would) of the funniest children's books ever written... Wonderful, wonderful book. Give it for Christmas to any deserving child or adult you would like to keep laughing for the next 20 years. --Guardian

fantastic
I read this book when I was in primary school. My mum read some bits and within a matter of hours it was a family favourite. This is truely a fantastic book and I am still reading it. What more can I say...just brilliant!!!

Brilliant Book
I remember reading this when I was about 8. My grandmother gave it to me as a birthday present and I loved it and read it over and over again. Great to read to my own kids

one of the funniest books I've ever read
The book focuses on a little girl growing up in a terraced street. The day to day goings on in the street are the main focus of the book. Anybody who grew up in this type of environment, with a lot of brothers, sister, aunties, uncles and friends living in the same area will identity with it and literally laugh out loud. Even though it is a children's book, myself and my mum always go back to it when we need a little pick me up!
