Tilly and the Time Machine

Product Information

I liked Tilly from the start, but as the story continued, I liked her more and more. She was so responsible and acting quite grown-up for such an average height 7 and a half year old. When her dad disappears of course she worries, of course she is afraid, but she still continues with her day. She still goes to school. She tries to save her dad. When two baddies show up she gets two chances to save the machine, and she makes full use of whatever found in the shed (which leads to hilarious Home Alone situations). I think the author (Adrian Edmonson) really thought about the book and it's really impressive to know so much history. Penguin presents the audiobook edition of Tilly and the Time Machine written and read by Adrian Edmondson. child chimney sweeps in charcoal if you have some or pencil. Don’t forget to make their faces dirty! OR Another 'celebrity' name, but Adrian Edmondson seems like a natural; he doesn't try too hard to be overly funny, or use silly devices to capture attention. He writes a story that to me seems like one I might have wanted to write as a child, and adds a little pathos and gentle humour.

This book helped me to understand more about war and I would really like to read more books by this author. The bit that I found really funny was when Tilly pretends to be the police!Learning about history was fun in this book - Tilly went on lots of using her Dad's time machine. I liked it when Tilly was in the Victorian era and met the Queen! I felt sad that Tilly's Mum had died and thought she managed on her own really well. I would recommend this book to my friends The illustrations are also great, adding another layer of humour to the story and enhance the story telling. I think children will thoroughly enjoy this story - and so will any adults sharing it with them! Certainly," said the Time Traveller, stooping to light a spill at the fire. Then he turned, lighting his pipe, to look at the Psychologist's face. (The Psychologist, to show that he was not unhinged, helped himself to a cigar and tried to light it uncut.) "What is more, I have a big machine nearly finished in there"—he indicated the laboratory—"and when that is put together I mean to have a journey on my own account." Tilly's dad is an inventor and slightly bonkers, Tilly is seven and reminded me of Kevin from The Home Alone movies, shes full of impossible schemes and has absolutely no fear. Tilly's mother passed away when she was six and this is covered with sincerity, in a poignant and thoughtful way. Tilly's dad gets lost in time testing his latest invention, Tilly must be brave and rescue him. This is an utterly charming story that young readers will absolutely adore. We stared at each other. "Look here," said the Medical Man, "are you in earnest about this? Do you seriously believe that that machine has travelled into time?"

I enjoyed the book as it is very factual and I enjoyed finding out facts from the past. My favourite character was Tilly's dad as he was crazy and always knew his time machine would work. I also enjoyed the parts set in the Victorian era and I would like to find out more about that time. Under the name 20th Century Coyote, Edmondson and Mayall became one of the star attractions at The Comedy Store. As their popularity grew, Edmondson and Mayall and other upcoming comedians (including Alexei Sayle, Peter Richardson, Nigel Planer, French and Saunders) split away from the Comedy Store to set up their own venue: The Comic Strip club. The Comic Strip soon gained a reputation as one of the most popular comedy clubs in London and soon came to the attention of Channel 4. Edmondson and the others were commissioned to act in six self-contained half-hour films, using the group as comedy actors rather than stand-up performers. The series, entitled The Comic Strip Presents... debuted on 2 November 1982 (the opening night of Channel 4). This could be read aloud to younger children or is a great chapter book for more independent or able readers. With my teacher’s hat on, I think it could help inspire children to think about their favourite historical characters, who they’d like to meet or what funny fact they’d like to discover about them and be a great stimulus for independent writing. Role play an imaginary conversation between Tilly and one of the characters in the story eg Queen Victoria or Mr Wormwood, the chimney sweep. Draw a pictureTilly and the Time Machine" is a sweet story told with humour and poignancy. I feel that both boys and girls will enjoy Tilly's adventure to find her father, and parents will enjoy reading it aloud.

Tilly and her dad, an inventor, live in a fairly chaotic way since Tilly’s mum died. Tilly’s dad invents a time machine and somehow manages to travel away leaving Tilly behind. We sat and stared at the vacant table for a minute or so. Then the Time Traveller asked us what we thought of it all. Upon that machine," said the Time Traveller, holding the lamp aloft, "I intend to explore time. Is that plain? I was never more serious in my life." Ongelukkig kon ons nie ander boeke deur Edmondson voor die grendelstaat in die hande kry nie, en al het sy 'n boekrak vol ander goed, is dit die een wat sy telkens tyd uithaal! Nice to have a female protagonist who is relatively fearless and inventive in her solutions. Pity the whole thing had this "Seen it before but better" feeling.

Because I presume that it has not moved in space, and if it travelled into the future it would still be here all this time, since it must have travelled through this time."
