'Isla Fisher is hilarious' DAVID WALLIAMS
Isla Fisher began acting as a child and has worked solidly in
television and film for the past 25 years. She has appeared in Home
And Away, The Great Gatsby and Definitely Maybe, to name a few. She
also studied in Paris to become a clown for two years before
realising that there is not much call for miming 'the wall'!
Isla has played many roles over the years, from a bonkers
bridesmaid in Wedding Crashers to the poster girl for consumerism
in Confessions Of A Shopaholic. But her favourite role has been
being a mummy to daughters Olive and Elula and son Monty. Isla has
been making up stories at bedtime for them every night since they
were born. These books are for her children, as a reminder of all
the fun they have at bedtime reading books and sharing stories.
Eglantine Ceulemans spent her childhood reading Belgian comics. In
2007 she joined the Emile Cohl School of Art in Lyon, France,
transforming her passion for illustration into a vocation. She
loves working in an intuitive way, combining humor and sensitivity,
and using different mediums and techniques. Eglantine currently
resides in Lyon.
Perfect for reading aloud, or for beginner readers... the plentiful
illustrations make a good transition from picture books and add
hugely to children's enjoyment.
*Parents In Touch*
This book deserves five stars because it's so funny and creative. I
would certainly want a babysitter like Marge! My favourite part
was..well...I don't know, I loved it all. It was entertaining,
funny and you just wanted to read on.

'My kids are young but my eldest enjoys books like this one read
out loud to her at bedtime. I love the humour and the funny and
charming stories. I love that Marge is mischievous and causes a lot
of mayhem!'
*A Mum Reviews*
'The Marge In Charge books are lovely - fun and easy to read...The
characters are very relatable, the relationship between Jakey and
Jemima being a typical sibling love/hate friendship!'
*Real Mum Reviews*
'Jack loves the character of Marge - he thinks she is incredibly
funny and yes, he would like a babysitter like her! When I asked
for his thoughts on the series, he said 'Good....No, BRILLIANT!'
and I can tell he is a big fan already. Here's hoping there is more
in the series as Isla Fisher has created some fantastic characters
who we can't to read more about...We are definitely impressed with
these books and these make a great addition to Jack's
bookshelves.'

'Marge and the Great Train Rescue (Piccadilly Press, £5.99), had us
captivated from page 1'
*Mummy in the City*
Again my daughter loved it. It is well written so that she looks
forward to the next page to find out what happened next. Three
separate stories in the book, each with lots of descriptive words
allowing the reader to fully imagine being there in the story.
*Mojo Mums*
perfect reading between siblings before bed
*Boo Roo and Tigger Too*
had us giggling and smiling all the way through... the hilarious
books make amazing holiday reads for children
*Mummy In The City*
Isla Fisher with her zany sense of the ridiculous and Eglantine
Ceulemans, with her wonderfully cartoon-like portraits of Marge and
the children, a have once again bought her flamboyantly to life in
another series of outlandish adventures which are perfectly

their first serious chapter book, there will be smiles all around
as the children in your life relate to Marge in charge once again,

My son has been reading this non-stop for the last few days. It's
really changed him from being a reluctant reader to an enthusiastic
one

The three books we have by Isla Fisher, Marge in Charge, Marge and
the Pirate Baby and Marge and the Great Train Rescue are so much
fun. We are really loving getting to know the characters and E
finds it hilarious that an adult is causing lots of mischeif. These
books are light hearted fun reads which I feel school aged children
will really love and enjoy. The books include pictures and font
that is easy to read with suitable language that children can
identify with. We are really loving them and I know you will
too!
