'Isla Fisher is hilarious' DAVID WALLIAMS

'Charming, funny, delightful: Marge is the babysitter all children would wish for' DAVID BADDIEL

Whistles at the ready. Marge is off!

Have you met Marge? She has rainbow hair, tells wild stories and she's the best babysitter in the whole world.

Things do SOMETIMES go off the rails when Marge is around but Jakey and Jemima don't mind that. After all, no one else could rescue a train, help Jakey's wobbly tooth or cause chaos at the zoo!

The third fun family story in the MARGE IN CHARGE series, written by actor & comedian Isla Fisher and illustrated throughout by Eglantine Ceulemans.

Perfect for reading aloud, or for beginner readers... the plentiful illustrations make a good transition from picture books and add hugely to children's enjoyment. * Parents In Touch *
This book deserves five stars because it's so funny and creative. I would certainly want a babysitter like Marge! My favourite part was..well...I don't know, I loved it all. It was entertaining, funny and you just wanted to read on. * Shell Louise *
'My kids are young but my eldest enjoys books like this one read out loud to her at bedtime. I love the humour and the funny and charming stories. I love that Marge is mischievous and causes a lot of mayhem!' * A Mum Reviews *
'The Marge In Charge books are lovely - fun and easy to read...The characters are very relatable, the relationship between Jakey and Jemima being a typical sibling love/hate friendship!' * Real Mum Reviews *
'Jack loves the character of Marge - he thinks she is incredibly funny and yes, he would like a babysitter like her! When I asked for his thoughts on the series, he said 'Good....No, BRILLIANT!' and I can tell he is a big fan already. Here's hoping there is more in the series as Isla Fisher has created some fantastic characters who we can't to read more about...We are definitely impressed with these books and these make a great addition to Jack's bookshelves.' * I always believe in futures *
'Marge and the Great Train Rescue (Piccadilly Press, £5.99), had us captivated from page 1' * Mummy in the City *
Again my daughter loved it. It is well written so that she looks forward to the next page to find out what happened next. Three separate stories in the book, each with lots of descriptive words allowing the reader to fully imagine being there in the story. * Mojo Mums *
perfect reading between siblings before bed * Boo Roo and Tigger Too *
had us giggling and smiling all the way through... the hilarious books make amazing holiday reads for children * Mummy In The City *

The three books we have by Isla Fisher, Marge in Charge, Marge and the Pirate Baby and Marge and the Great Train Rescue are so much fun. We are really loving getting to know the characters and E finds it hilarious that an adult is causing lots of mischeif. These books are light hearted fun reads which I feel school aged children will really love and enjoy. The books include pictures and font that is easy to read with suitable language that children can identify with. We are really loving them and I know you will too! * Candyfloss and Dreams *
