This book teaches us, you should be happy with who you are,what you are and how you look.

I loved this, it made me laugh out loud. I was not familiar with author, Adam Frost until an Australian friend shared a review of Ralph the Magic Rabbit that her 10 year old niece wrote. The narrator, Daniel Hill did an excellent job on the BBC audiobook version that I listened to. Five stars for Sid, Martin, Joe and, of course, Ralph.

What a lovely little book! My children, aged 5 and 7 liked it (particularly as I read it complete with character voices- oh my larynx...) very much. A sweet action novel with a few transparent adult social messages and some subtle childhood ones, it served many purposes.
