Readers’ Comments
“I like Phil the krill a lot. I think he’s very sweet but seems a bit lonely. I’m happy he met Bill.” Girl, aged 6
“I enjoy rhyming books so I think this book is good. It’s a sweet story and the message is good – it’s important to have a pal!” Girl, aged 7 – with a little help from mum
“The best bit with the book was the pics. They were VERY bright and VERY colourful. The story is not so exciting, but it’s sort of sweet with a good lesson.” Boy, aged 7 – with a little help from his teacher
“I think children who like books with animals in it will like this book. This story has fish in it! The krill is very cute and I enjoyed the adventure he went on. It’s a short book but very bright! MEGA-bright in fact! 😊 I wish it had been funny too. I like funny books best.” Girl, aged 6 – with a little help from mum
