By Tracey Corderoy and Tim Warnes. Review by the Bug, aged 5.
My brother is not one for practising his writing. But he has recently acquired the ability to read, and can be found most mornings, long before M&D’s alarm goes off, poring over his books. Even the promise of pain au chocolat elicits a groan of disobedience when he is asked to abandon his literature in favour of dressing and coming down for breakfast.
Perhaps this new-found ability accounts for his urge to review Monty and Milli. We’ve had The Totally Amazing Magic Trick hanging around for months, with a plan to review it, but before now it hasn’t been a priority on my brother’s list of things to do. He has been demanding Mummy’s attention all week with a desire to flex his pencil. Let me translate:
Milli always copies Monty and it makes him cross.
I like Milli because she is funny.
My favourite part was when Milli was hiding under the table and pretended to be a warty toad.
Blank – ie. I wouldn’t change anything about this book.
That just about covers it, from the Bug’s point of view, but if you want to see a more in-depth review, head over to Mini Bookworms for the full lowdown 🙂
That’s really sweet. It can be so hard to get them interested in reading and writing, especially boys. That’s a book I’ll remember for next year 🙂
It’s a good one actually, because there’s quite a lot to it, but it stays cute enough to engage them
We love to get out but I’m not fond of the cold so I need coaxing in this weather. When we did get sledging we all had a great time and the fire and fleecy blanket, just like you, was very welcoming after.
Now I’ve commented on the wrong post. Just shoot me.
Thank you. Thank you so much for being equally as nutty as me this weekend. I feel so much better knowing I’m not alone 😉
It is always good to get children interested in reading, as this can open lots of doors for them.
That sounds good. I think Z would like it. x
That’s lovely he is liking reading. He sounds like he might be a bookworm!
I’m always on the lookout for new books for my guys. Lovely review!
I love his writing! So so cute 🙂
Thank you, he’s rapidly taking over the #funee mantle from GG
What a beautiful review. He has such gorgeous writing, I love it when they write so phonetically “beecos” it shows they understand but they haven’t yet learnt the madness of the English language. A review to treasure.
Thank you! Exactly that!
A perfect book review!! he should come and work for me at bookreviews for mums
🙂 He is on the path to greatness – maybe 🙂
