Review by Stacey
The Eyebrows of Doom is a hilarious, laugh-out-loud book by author Steve Smallman. The premise of the book is that eyebrows one and two are naughty little eyebrows and they like to cause mischief by attaching themselves to the faces of different people/animals and making them behave badly.
The story is told in a kind of rhyming style, some parts do, others not quite so much. The text is easy to read and there are no hard words, so perfect for new readers.
The bright, colourful illustrations will bring the reader lots of joy, especially as they show all the naughty things the people/animals are made to do such as a seagull peppering people with poop.
The Eyebrows of Doom is a book that will give children the giggles. It’s a lot of fun the whole way through, pure silliness, and is completely barmy but it really is a fab read.
