Reviews

[Phil Syphe · Rating 5 out of 5]

I used to own almost all the books from the Munch Bunch series when I was a boy. Think I’m right in stating that I had all those that concentrated on a specific character or set of characters but didn’t have any of the “specials”.

It’s sad in a way that I remember hardly anything about this title or the others I owned, considering how I used to repeatedly read them during 1981-83. I may well have returned to them as late as 1985 but I’ve put a random date from 1983 in the details below rather than leave it blank

Based on the frequency of times I turned these pages in my boyhood I feel that I’m right to rate this – and all the others in the series – 5 stars.

Thanks for brightening up my childhood, Mr Reed!
