** Book Birthday Blitz ** Santa’s Early Christmas- Lily Lawson

I’m delighted to be participating in today’s book birthday blitz for ‘Santa’s Early Christmas.’

Santa’s Early Christmas

Last year Santa was hungry and thirsty by the time he delivered all the presents. But when he came home there was no food and drink left! This year Santa decides things are going to be different.

Review-

Lily Lawson’s picture books never fail to make me smile!

This one is a delightful rhyming verse book which tells of Santa’s exploits as he treats himself to a range of festive treats as an early present to himself before his busy work schedule takes hold.

Wonderfully illustrated as always by the talented Gustyawan, this is a perfect read to snuggle up to and share with your toddler or even for early independent readers to tackle alone.

Either way, it’ll certainly get you into the festive spirit!

With thanks to the author and Rachel at Random Resources for the opportunity to participate in today’s blitz.

I’m pleased to be one of today’s stops on the blog blitz for ‘If I Were Invisible.’

Think of all the things we could get away with if nobody could see us! But how long would the fun last, if we had to do it all alone?

Review-

This is another fun book from this children’s author. Short but sweet, it would certainly capture the imaginations of young readers as they put themselves in the place of the main character and consider what they themselves would do if they were invisible.

The illustrations by Gustyawan are the perfect compliment to the text, with bright, bold images which children will love to explore. I especially liked how the character is partially hidden to show his invisibility in each picture.

I also liked the reflective aspect of the book where it becomes less fun if you’re doing it alone; a thought-provoking moment for readers to ponder and discuss with an adult if sharing the book.

With thanks to the author and Rachel at Random Resources for the opportunity to participate in today’s tour.

Review-

This is a thoroughly enjoyable children’s picture book! Bold colours, bright characters and an array of musical instruments make this a delightful read for a range of ages.

I can imagine reading it with younger children and using Gustyawan’s incredible illustrations as discussion points but equally could see it being as appealing to slightly older readers who could read the text independently and discuss the story with an adult.

I especially like the way the author has either chosen a slightly more obscure animal or a less obvious instrument to make up the band as this lends itself to not only enjoying the story but learning at the same time.

The rhyming verses perfectly compliment the musical theme and it was refreshing to see the chosen font using a standard ‘true’ letter a rather than the keyboard version.

I’ll most certainly be adding a physical copy to my little one’s reading collection!

With thanks to the author and Rachel at Random Resources for the opportunity to participate in the tour.
