|summary=A brilliant comic tale of a daredevil child facing all the usual childhood issues. It'll have universal appeal for parents of children, but certain children might be better suited to a single-issue book, rather than a range of issues that they might learn from.

"Kel Gilligan is a daredevil. He... wait for it... eats BROCCOLI! He even does his poos on the potty. What a brave soul! What a hero! Kel faces all the traumas of childhood, with aplomb.
I loved ''Kel Gilligan's Daredevil Stunt Show''. It's got a quirky sense of humour, and is presented beautifully. It takes the issues that many children face, and plays up the horror of them, for comic effect. Parents, in particular, will chuckle throughout, and smart children will pick up on the humour through them. Kel's a fun and amenable character who will strike a chord with all young book fans.
The writing is smart and slick too, weaving together first person speech, with comic speech bubbles. There's tension and drama writ large for comic effect, and it all works brilliantly. ''Kel Gilligan's Daredevil Stunt Show'' will find a welcome place on any young person's bookshelf.
Warmly recommended."
The aforementioned [[Traction Man Meets Turbo Dog by Mini Grey]] is a fantastic read. For single issues, take a look at our [[Top Ten Picture Books For Overcoming Bedtime Woes]].
