🪱🪱🪱*GIFTED BOOK REVIEW *🪱🪱🪱
Blurb:- Have you ever wondered why your teacher’s eyebrows look like caterpillars? Or whether your cat has superpowers? Or how worms manage without hands?
Meet Jack, an ordinary boy with an extraordinary cat, Max. And a best friend called Rodney, who’s a worm.
Join Jack as he sets off to cure his teacher of grumpiness, discovering along the way how to do somersaults and grow the perfect chocolate flavoured sprouts. And command an army of worms.
My Review:-
I wasn’t sure about this book ‘King Worm Jack’ at first, but the more I read it the funnier it got. Jack thinks everybody loves his brother Seb and his dog Scarlet more. Jack has a cat, but not just any cat, a special cat called Max. Jack’s adventures start when he meets a worm called Rodney. Jack and Rodney decide to help Jack’s teacher Mr Prickles and that’s were the fun begins. You’ll get to meet the Bogeymen, the Teardrop and many more. Oh, do you like Sprouts? Jack didn’t until Mr Prickles entered his sprouts into the County Show.
PLUS there are blanket spaces throughout the book for you to writing or drawing pictures that become part of this great story.
Thank you to @lovebookstours for allowing me to review a 5 STAR book

The Best Bear Tracker

 


The Best Bear Tracker. By John Condon. Genre: 5 Years. Blyth: The Best Bear Tracker in the world is on the lookout! But can she find a bear? How do you spot a bear? In The Best Bear Tracker the rules are quite clear, but maybe, just maybe, our heroine might not be as good at tracking as she thinks.

This hilarious picture book is full of quirky charm, little readers will love laughing at the main character, who is oblivious to the bears following her through the forest. But are they really what she is looking for?
REVIEW:
My 8 year old granddaughter and I decided to read this book for her bedtime story and it did not disappoint us. Each page of the story has been beautifully drawn with clues on every page. The little explorer begins her adventure with her Bear Tracker Kit on her back and off she goes in search of clues to find a bear.
There is so much to talk about from start to finish, you will want to read it more than once, as we have.
This is a great funny and cute book to read with the family of all ages ( even my 19 year old daughter loved it). Thank You to @lovebookstours for allowing us to review this book

Thank you @lovebookstours for #gifted audiobook. AD-PR-PRODUCT

🏴‍☠️🏴‍☠️My review- This is the first historical fiction audiobook I’ve listened to as I don’t normally use audiobooks. The narrator was clear and I loved how she went from one character to another will no problem, she pulled you into the story as it went along. I loved the close relationship Anne and Mary had together, they were very clever and new how to play people to get what they wanted. I especially love when Anne and Mary tried to make a fire, they were sweating so much it was putting the fire out, so in the end they used some of their own hair. The author made you feel as if you were part of the story, which is something I love. I will be watching for the next book coming out

Flicker Plays Hide-and-Surprise

 

Flicker Plays Hide-and-Surprise By Jodie Parachini
Genre:-Children’s Picture Book (3-7 years)
Pages:-32
Publisher:-Albert Whitman and Company
Blurb:- Welcome To The Grand Bug Hotel!
We are a happy, eco-friendly lodge and cater to all bugs. Flicker and her friends are playing hide and seek in the Grand Bug Hotel, and Flicker’s younger sibling-twins Zip and Flare want to join in on the fun. The game uses skills that the baby bugs aren’t used to including silence and patience, so Flicker creates a new game that everyone can play instead.

Thank you to @lovebookstours and @jodieparachini for gifting this to review.
🐛🪲Emily and I read Flicker Plays Hide-and-Surprise together for our bedtime story. I love how Flicker explained to the twins Zip and Flare how to play hide-and-seek showing them how to hide like her friends Wicket, Dazzle and Roly Poly. But when it came to Flicker and the twins to hide things didn’t go to plan and when the twins got upset Flicker made up a new game that they understood and everyone could play together. This book showed even though not everyone understands you can always make same changes so everyone can join in. Emily like the illustrations as she loved playing hide and seek with the bugs that were hiding in the pictures. A love book to read together or as a read along 🪲🐛

Blurb:- Middle-grade Fantasy Adventure-the first book in the brand new series-The Chronicles of Avalon.
Nothing exciting ever happens to Arthur, and that’s the way he likes it. But when he stumbles into a magical world on his 13th birthday, the new teen has to put on his big boy pants and begin the quest of a lifetime to find his way back home. With the help of a new friends. Arthur overcomes seemingly impossible obstacles, tames magical creatures, and fights mythical monsters. By the end of his journey he has changed in ways he could never have imagined; he needs to get home, but the pull of Avalon leaves him with a difficult decision to make.
Review:- When I seen the cover of this book I knew this would be something both my daughter and myself would enjoy reading. Arthur is just like any other 13 year old boy, he’s never be one that believed in fairies, monsters, and magic they were just in comics until a school trip to Stonehenge. Arthur is transported to Avalon. The fantasy of magical creatures, mythical monsters, Spike a dragon and a villain called Morgana all begins. When it’s time to return back to his own world will he go.
The Author Lynne W Bailey has wrote this book so well you will think you are the one that has been transported to Avalon
