SIZE DOESN'T MATTER
I bought a copy of this book to support a fellow member of the internet support group I belong to [Rave Reviews by Nonnie Jules http://tinyurl.com/mqo65sj ]
Being a Book Reviewer affords the opportunity to choose to read/review books from practically every genre imaginable which is why I decided to go from reading my first real erotic romance to a childrenâs book with wonderful full color illustrations.
While on the surface the story seems to be about a community of animal friends who live in an area known as Friendship Bog, where Gaffer is busy preparing for his own birthday discovers the shell he ALWAYS keeps next to him when he tells his famous stories is missing. When Pibbin finds out itâs missing, small that he is, sets on own his own to find this item, which he succeeds in locating and is able to retrieve it with the help of someone he never would have expected come to his aid.
Returning home he finds a friend, Leeper, who has gone missing for a long time. And even though heâs being held by a much larger animal, a beaver, as a personal toy, Pibbinâs size didnât stop him from a successful rescue.
The wonderful aspect of the book is the way the author wrote this story; as its young readers are enjoying the story, theyâre subliminally learning about such important life lessons as: friendship, courage, size and determination. The humanistic qualities Ms. Repp gives her characters and the perfectly matched illustrations for each chapter by Tim Davis aids in the visualizations of the story in its young readerâs mind.
Although my OH and I have no children, I allowed my inner child to come to the surface to help me as I read this book and Iâm therefore happy to give this book 5 STARS.
An Adventure/Quest for Your Littlest Reader
It's the day of Gaffer's birthday, and his gift to the Bog will be his best story ever. But, his story shell, the shell he keeps by his side when he tells his great stories, has disappeared. Pibbin has resolved to find and return the shell in time for the Gaffer's party. Can little Pibbin succeed in this demanding task?
Not to be a wise-guy about it, but I'd almost given up hope on finding engaging books on Kindle for my littlest readers. There are lots of books out there, but so often they come with a lot of baggage - an odd sense of humor, overwrought messages, weird snarkiness about siblings or parents, precious cutsiness or just not very accomplished grammar and word choice. I salute the people who have worked to produce these books, but that doesn't mean I want them in my library.
Then you find Gloria Repp and her amazing books; (this is book two of three so far). They are very reminiscent of Thornton Burgess and his library of "Old Mother West Wind", "Danny Meadow Mouse" and a score of other books from around 1910. As you might expect, Ms.
