}}

''Dustbin Dad'' is a cautionary tale aimed at all of those children who leave food on their plate at the end of a meal. Dad likes nothing better than to polish off the leftovers, much to the disgust of his family. One day, however, he gobbles down a pint of something that tastes like fish chowder. Unfortunately, it is cat medicine and it has some very strange side effects indeed, as dad discovers when he hears a loud rip and a long tail pops out of the back of his trousers...

I think parents and older children will really enjoy this story, as it is a lot of fun. It is ideal for children who are starting to make the transition from picture books and becoming more confident readers. ''Dustbin Dad'' will appeal to those who enjoy cautionary tales in the style of Roald Dahl.
