Ladybird still seem to be trying to 'out Hargreaves' Hargreaves; first it was The Garden Gang and now The Fun Guys. Each book contains two woodland stories featuring six - yes you've guessed it - FUNGI! The Fun Guys are said to have different characters but their only distinguishing feature seems to be their outward appearance. Their 'hilarious adventures' failed to raise even a glimmer of a simile and I found them totally inedible. Not to be recommended for any child's reading diet.
