The baddest hamster around, Mr Big Fluff, has decided that he is not as happy as he might be so he decides to steal some happy from Happy Hills. Will the Happy Hills gang be able to stop him? The third 'Happy Hills' book, Mr Big Fluff Rules, continues the bonkers fun and complete chaos of the series perfectly! Sophy Henn's genius for comedic timing, visual humour and crazy - yet appealing - storylines is well known and seems to get better with every book!

Bold, bright colours burst from every page as this comic strip caper introduces a new baddie - and threat to the happiness of Happy Hills - Mr Big Fluff, a mafia gangster-style villain whose dialogue delivery will have adults chortling as well as kids. As might be expected, the Happy crew keep their home safe and help Mr Big Fluff find his own kind of happy along the way. As usual, there are the additional sub-plots scattered throughout the story and some excellent drawing advice from Sophie at the end.

One section shows Sparks finding fame on Spit Spot, a genius story showing the futility of chasing likes from 'friends' you don’t even know and constantly trying to up the ante only to be discarded the minute something else becomes 'popular'!

I would say that this would make an excellent bedtime story - but it is guaranteed to cause lots of laughing and inspire an immediate desire to draw so perhaps it is better suited to other times of the day!
