armadillomagazine.co.uk has made #CrooksandNannies its Book 'o the week!
"Short, silly… this book will have them rolling with laughter, suspicious of nannies everywhere and desperate to make their own slime. They will also want to read, reread and keep asking when the next installment is coming!"

I'm Chris McGuire and I write funny books that encourage kids to get into reading.
Catching the reading bug' is so important. So my books are full of fun and silliness - all packed into short chapters that fly by.
