Kia ora readers,
How are things? It might seem like my world
is only about reading books right now but there are lots of other things going
on too! The part time work and half time study load and creative writing are
keeping me from this space.
I’m always excited to get new books in the
post and I love that there are so many I can share with my boys and with the
little people in my world.
Recently I’ve been enjoying:
The
Story of Tantrum O’Furrily by Cressida Cowell and
Mark Nicholas.
This book has such charm – the playfulness of the language and
illustration blend perfectly together. The overarching message of the book is
the power of story and the importance of remembering the kindness of another. A
gorgeous book for sharing with someone special. Will appeal to a range of ages.
love you more than remembering to leave a

and
Toto
the Ninja Cat and the Incredible Cheese Heist by
Dermot O’Leary.
I started reading this book with Mr 9 and then I ‘let’ him read
the rest as he snuggled down to sleep one evening. I get such pleasure from
watching children enjoy reading and text. He loved this. It’s a very manageable
read, with some fun illustrations that compliment and break up the text. The
story moves at a good pace and has a sense of fun and mystery throughout.
Easily enjoyed by a younger audience too but big enough for people who want to
be seen reading ‘proper’ chapter books.
Details – Hachette NZ, September 2018, RRP$17.99
love you more than a blind ninja xxx
