    I loved reading the first Norm book, May Contain Nuts. It is really funny when Norm nearly pees in his mum and dad’s wardrobe because he forgot he moved house. Get the book to read more laughs.

    Norm is a good book, not the best but as I said, good. To be honest Norm is totally crazy at the beginning because he says the toilet has disappeared and forgot that they moved house 3 months before!

    Jonathan Meres has a good writing talent but the book was not that comical in my opinion, but luckily the funny illustrations make up for this. I know this because my brother and sister were laughing like mad when they were looking at the pictures.

    I rate this book 2.75/5 because it lacks the funniness of Jeremy Strong and Jeff Kinney books, a great debut but just not up there yet!
