Our Review

We always love the How to Catch series!

Usually, the How to Catch series are set in pretty specific circumstances, however, the setting of this book in particular is the playground of school! Kids will surely relate to this book much closer than previous instalments!

Let’s just be thankful that class pets are not as common or as exotic as in this book! Moreover, I daren’t say I’d be too happy if the class pet spider went missing!

The kids had some pretty tame ideas to try and catch the pets, none coming to any fruition. Thankfully, it seems the epic class dragon finally saved the day!

We should note that the rhyming style between Adam Wallace and Alice Walstead is fairly different, so you might need to find yourself adjusting the rhythm of reading!

Overall, this was another fun addition to the series that kids are sure to relate to and enjoy!
