Review
Today on this stop of the blog
tour, I have two reviews for this book, one is mine and the other is my mini me
“Amelia”.
My Review
This is a lovely short story and a perfect read to a
younger child starting out reading as they can follow the pictures whilst the
story is read to them. It is also a
lovely book for those who are starting out reading themselves.
The pictures are lovely and tell a tale themselves which
I found lovely to follow.
I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book and found the
story to be one of friendship and how friends stick together when other people
can sometimes be nasty and on the verge of bullying.
We meet some lovely characters called Tommy Twigtree,
Oliver Onion and Larry Leek who help Charlie the Carrot in more ways than
one.
Overall this book is a lovely story and one I would recommend
to children of around ages 4 – 5 or under who are able to read themselves or
lovely a beautiful bedtime story with their parents about friendships.
Amelia’s review
This story is a good book for ages of around 6 and
under. In each picture it tells what is
going on. If you don’t know what is
going on in the book the pictures can help younger children.
I found the pictures really enjoyable when I was reading
the book on my own and thought that the pictures were very bright and colourful
and love the way the illustrator has created these.
About the Author
Michael lives in rural Sussex with his wife. His story telling
started when his eldest grandchild was old enough to appreciate a bedtime tale.
Rather than read to her he began to craft stories about the trees, plants and
animals that live in his garden. As time passed and a second grandchild also
enjoyed these tales of adventure and daring, the stories began to create a
whole world that lived and went about its business right in his garden.
His grand kids, Poppy and Rudi continue to enjoy further
developments in the lives of the characters that populate these stories and
Tommy Twigtree and The Carrot Crunchers is the first in a series charming
garden tales.

My thanks to Michael Firman for allowing both Amelia and I to

my spot on the blog tour.
