Julia Eccleshare's comment:

A very welcome of a best-selling classic title which as funny and pertinent today as when it was first published. . When Mrs Bartolotti opens a tin that is delivered by mistake she gets the surprise of her life. Inside is a tiny boy who, once doused with the special solution, turns into a delightful fully-formed seven year old boy. Factory-made Conrad has been taught how to be a perfect child. But Mrs Bartolotti cares not a fig for all of that. She wants Conrad to have fun. Can Conrad circumvent his instructions? And can Mrs Bartolotti get to keep her delightful treasure despite her anarchic views? Published by Andersen Press, this was their very first book in their launch list back in 1976.  This is a title that has most definitely stood the test of time. A must-read classic that is perfect for parents and children to share. 

And, did you know that Andersen Press is named after none other than Hans Christian Andersen, probably the most famous children's author of the 19th century.

Andersen Press publishes some of the most well known and best loved names in the world of children's books. These include David McKee, the creator of Elmer the patchwork elephant; Tony Ross, who has given us the Little Princess; and Melvin Burgess, whose novel Junk won the Carnegie Medal and the Guardian Children's Fiction Prize.
