Praise for Boring, Botty and Spong

Although aimed at children aged nine plus, I'm sure many adults would find this volume entertaining too, and let it serve as a warning that if you are toying with giving your child a unusual name, it may be included in a future volume of a book similar to this for future generations to ponder (and possibly, have a giggle at).
