Monsieur Le Chef

Mysterious moving island and talking animals, you got me Milo McGivern. 'Monsieur Le Chef' is a feel good book with 5 short stories revolving around the same characters. It essentially falls in the middle grade category but believe me, adults will enjoy this alike, if not more. The book made me chuckle throughout. This story is set in a mysterious, position shifting island and the best part is that the author mentions the coordinates each time there is a shift and one can locate it on google map. This is sequel to 'The Island of Animaux'. One can directly get into this book without reading the first one. Overall the book is a potboiler with equal ounces of humour,darkness and happiness.

The premise of the book is great and the author really delivers. Great read. Highly recommended.

Loved catching up on Aubrey's latest exploits. Great narrative - wonderfully imaginative and highly descriptive. And an excellent follow up to the Island of Animaux. Would recommend to all readers from around age 8. Best washed down with a sense of humour and an appreciation of the absurd. Really enjoyed it.

Monsieur Le Chef is a funny children's book with 3 stories in 1 book. This is the first book by Milo McGivern that I have read and I am so glad that I requested it as it has given me a good giggle. The illustrations spotted through the book are funny too and very much in the stylebof Quentin Blakes style of illustrations. If you want a fun, silly and lighthearted read, this is definitely a book for you to enjoy.

The wonderful follow-up to 'The Island of Animaux'. Aubrey the Turkey returns for more hilarious, outrageous adventures. Clifford Platypus and Wallli Hog try to keep him in check, but the foul fowl is hard to control! :-) See the turkey have a disastrous dinner party, cringe in front of his sister, cheat other creatures to achieve his selfish ambition, and finally come good in a football game. I laughed long and hard at every story and children are in for a treat! Highly recommended.
