This book is about
They went on a holiday, and suddenly the light went off. Dad said it was a power cut. And then, next morning, all the children went outside and played. And they had a big job to do. They had a puppet show. They got some sticks and cardboard boxes, and cut them out into little puppet shapes. They put candles in front of a sheet and they tied it to trees. And Biff did elves' voices, and then they went home. Then Dad turned the lights on. It was just a joke.

The main characters are
Wilf, Wilma, and their dad and mum, Biff and Chip

My favourite part of the book is
When they did the puppet show.

I would also like to say
It was a funny story.
