Loved this book! Gloriously funny, wildly fantastical and so very necessary. I'm a huge fan of Simon Philip's work and so are my children - his rhymes and stories are pure joy. This pairing with Nathan Reed is just wonderful. The pictures are bright and bursting with fun and there's so much to spot! A real treat for little readers and big ones too. 5/5!

I adore this book by @siphilipstories . Amazing rhyming, repetition and vocabulary. I can imagine that my class will acquire some fantastic words from this book and it’s definitely one that I will be adding to my bookshelf in September. Love the ending too ❤️ #primaryteacher #bookstagram #ks1books #netgalley @netgalley

Great illustrations and a great story very funny and silly.
I things kids will enjoy it very much.

What an exciting book! Opening with fantastic rhyming text by Simon Philip, ACHOO! introduces Sid, who lets out an almighty sneeze that takes him on a journey through lots of thrilling scenarios. An elephant in a canoe, a few pirates and even some familiar fairytale characters appear each time Sid sneezes and just as he manages to get his nose under control another sneeze takes everyone by surprise! The illustrations by Nathan Reed are bright and detailed with my favourite being the tropical scene and pirate ship! We enjoyed this book immensely and I could imagine using it as a stimulus at school with Reception/KS1.

Thank you NetGalley & Bloomsbury Publishing for my ARC.

With bright, fun illustrations and an entertainingly silly, rhyming story this book is sure to amuse young readers aged 3+
As well as being an enjoyable read this could also be a nice, gentle way of opening up a discussion about why it's important to cover your sneezes with young children.
Thank you to NetGalley.co.uk and Bloomsbury Publishing for the free eARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Review to come July 22nd to blog/goodreads.

I received this book from Netgalley/the publisher in exchange of an honest review.

I was so so hyped that I got to review/read this book! I am a big big fan of the illustrator Nathan Reed and just need to have this book! Haha. Plus, that cover and blurb sounded weird and strange and just what I needed. At the moment of reading (June 2nd) I was actually just previewing it to see if I should read it now or not, and then suddenly I was 16 pages in. It was just THAT funny and just THAT thing I needed right now when I am not feeling the best.

In this hilarious book we meet a boy named Sid. Sid is a pretty normal kid.. well until the moment he sneezes and an elephant pops out of his nose. WHAT?! I can hear you all ask me in stumped confusion. Yes, an elephant. A pink one at that. If you think that is just weird, then stop reading now. Because things are getting weirder and weirder. We meet a pirate crew on to hunt for treasure, we go to the circus, and there is just so much more. All the while Sid is sneezing and I had a laugh at what happened around him then. It was weird, silly, strange, hilarious, OMG what now, and just what I needed after a not so happy time. I was giggling and laughing and wondering what would be next. Could it get any sillier? And the answer? A very resounding HECK YES. OMG. This was just the start of the things that happened. I loved the imagination of the author and loved how the illustrator brought it all to life with the illustrations.

That ending though. That was just perfection! Cover your nose! XD (Though this girl is wondering how one holds in a whole circus crew with just the barrier of a tissue?)

I could relate to the MC very much I have to say. OK, sure, my sneezes aren't explosive and sadly don't bring me to pirates and neither are things coming out of my nose the size of elephants. Sadly, the only thing that comes out of my nose is snot. Yep, eww. I know. But other than that, I know the feeling of constantly having to sneeze. Constantly going ACHOOO. Especially in the past few months it has been quite a sneezefest. Now I wish my sneezefest could have been way more fun. Mmmm. 

The illustrations by Nathan Reed were absolute perfection. I just love his style and it fitted very well with this nonsensical, silly, wonderful book. 

All in all, guess who is adding this book to her collection? Yep, this girl is. When the book comes out I want to buy it. Because I need this book.  I would HIGHLY recommend this book to all.

Well, it was colourful, and the rhymed narrative worked a lot of the time, but this busy and bonkers lesson in personal hygiene didn't really appeal. Sid the sneezer manages to let everything go when he sneezes, including decorum and manners, but nobody would guess what comes out his schnozz. It is solely a nonsense poem, but too nonsensical for me – and I fear for the actual health message to come across that brilliantly. I may be proven wrong, and if so then 'Gesundheit!', but personally I'd pass on this.
