Wilf is 'bright as a button and full of fun!' The story fizzes along with this little brown mouse constantly in trouble. Ever-watchful Mum shouts warnings, 'Watch out, Wilf!' but, CRASH, BANG, WALLOP, down he goes, time and again. Mum sighs, telling him there's too much crashing and banging and not enough listening. But sometimes it is Mum who doesn't listen! 'Watch out, Mum!' cries Wilf, but too late, for CRASH, BANG, WALLOP, Mum causes disaster. The delightful illustrations are joyful throughout, from the endpapers showing their plump pumpkin home to the final page, when Mum gives Wilf a great big cuddle. Lots of young readers just like Wilf will love this book, just as the mothers of CRASH, BANG, WALLOP-children will love it too!
