More silliness from kids' favorite carrot and friends
Review of Volumes 1 & 2: These books are silly and fun with illustrations and characters children will love. They are super quick to read, engaging, and each has a full plot line to enjoy. These stories feel just like what they are -- a creative response to when a grandchild says, "Gramma, tell me a story!"
Especially in book two, Search for the Hidden Treasure, author Nancy Beaule uses lots of figurative language. This not only enriches the story, but it would be a great way to teach even the very young about writing devices like similes and metaphors. Book two also brings a new illustrator, but the changes are subtle and improved (I could tell Salty was a potato chip in this one, where I wasn't really sure what he was in The Secret Formula.)
The writing is suitable for the intended audience, whether as a read-aloud for the youngest or independent reading for stronger readers. It is virtually error-free and cleanly edited. (The Grammar Policewoman in me doesn't like to see incorrect ellipses in both books, but I doubt any child reader will notice or care!) I do find it peculiar that our main character, Chompy, who is a carrot, eats carrots and then even grows them to blend them into a juice (a cannibalistic carrot??). I would very much like to test run this book with a child and see if he/she finds this odd -- or perhaps just oddly entertaining!
Silliness abounds, and who can resist stories that include haunted houses, secret formulas, and practical jokes? I definitely recommend you check-out Chompy and friends with your kids. And be sure to visit the author's website to get a recipe for your kids to make their own Chompy Juice!
Thank you to the author for providing me eBooks in exchange for my honest opinion -- the only kind I give. If you like this review, visit my blog Hall Ways for book views, reviews, and news you can use - or not. kristinehallways.blogspot.com
It's more scary fun with the Munchy Bunch
Chompy, the carrot, and his pal, Salty, are back in a other spooky adventure. Carrot has Doc Peppaâs secret formula for super-powered eyesight but when he makes a batch it doesnât work. A note Salty found at the mansion mentions a treasure. Perhaps itâs what they need to make the formula work. So off they go again.
Meanwhile, Candybar reaches the mansion ahead of them and sets a trap. Let the games begin.
Young children enjoy scary stories and the author kept the plot fun without being to scary. Her choice of food groups for characters added to that fun.
Another fun chapter in the Chompy adventures. The cute illustrations and antics will delight young readers.
Another exciting adventure
Chompy tries making Chompy Juice, but something's just not right. Meanwhile, Salty reveals that he found a cryptic note at Peppa Mansion. So, they head back to the haunted mansion to see if they can find a hidden treasure and, hopefully, the real secret behind making Chompy Juice. But someone else is following them ...
Once again, the author shows her talent in creating a spooky atmosphere with her careful choice of words.
