Beware the weasels, they will take over the world! Detailed illustrations draw you into the story and will keep you hooked. The various quirky characters add depth to the storytelling and will keep kids of all ages entertained.

Oh my what fun! There is so much going on in some pages and others not as much but my 5yr old loves this book. his favourite is the health and safety weasel chasing the weasel with a drill 'I'm entirely confident this huge drill will fix everything.' to 'No. Without this drill I am nothing!' As Dad is a diamond driller this is funny in our house. It was also pleasant to have a picture book with longer words like 'reconbobulate' and 'frothuccino' as toddlers love trying to get their mouths around the syllables. Anyhoo I love the cartoon pictures that kids and parents alike will enjoy and the speech bubbles are a nice touch as you can use different voices.

The weasels are planning to take over the world and today is the big day. But just as everything is ready to go, disaster strikes. “Machine status: It’s Broken”. What’s wrong with their world domination machine? Can they fix it? They’ve got a few ideas, like adding a clothes hanger, installing batteries, or buying a new machine. Perhaps the best solution is the simplest one? Weasels is a lot of fun to read as an adult – Elys Dolan’s illustrations fill every page and are packed full of little details, quirky asides and tongue-in-cheek references – like the chief weasel villain overseeing his lab weasels with a pet white mouse curled up on his lap, the coffee debate going on in the background, and a quick pause to make sure everything is health and safety compliant. This is an amusing tale with tonnes to look at and a nicely ambiguous ending – what will happen once the weasels manage to fix the problem? They’re not really likely to let a little technical difficulty get in their way. They are weasels, after all.
