2 stars

This instalment in the series wasn't particularly great, nothing new all very similar to the previous books.

What happens in this one, Greg avoids doing laundry, Greg fancies a girl, Greg is rude, Greg is mean, Greg doesn't learn any lessons but all works out in the end.

Warning, this book does feature the word Ploopy....thought I'd mention it incase you are crazy easily offended.

My daughter really enjoyed this one though. Don't think many parents are going to get much out of it.
