ISADORA MOON READING AGE SERIES
(Book 2 in the series ‘ Emerald and the Sea Sprites’ is out in August!!) Activities and fun after the story to keep young readers busy and inspired. A wonderful story with so much to take away from Emerald trying to cope with huge change in her life. Inspired by her octopus pet Inkibelle and with the help of her best friend Oceana, she finds a way to honour her new place in the royal family as the same time as feeling herself. Emerald has her identity and she want’s to be herself. Heading out to buy a special headdress for the occasion is all too much. The ocean parade is coming up - an event Emerald usually attends with her friends, however this time she’s expected to ride in the dolphin-pulled carriage, and to wave a certain way at the onlooking crowds. Living at the palace is still very new for Emerald, she really doesn’t feel like she fits the ‘princess’ mould, and what’s more she really misses her friends. It’ll be interesting to see whether future stories delve more into the experiences Emerald might have as the child of separated/divorced parents.

Her dad is mentioned in the story, although not featured visually. Emerald lives with her mum and her new step-mer-dad, King Auster and his bubbly and excitable daughter, Delphina. What sets apart Emerald’s series from Isadora and Mirabelle, isn’t just the underwater nature of the adventures, but that the family is a blended family. Is there no end to this Isadora Moon empire? I hope not, because whether it’s Mirabelle, Isadora, or Emerald, all the books are fantastic. 🌱Yay! Emerald has her own series… it’s aqua ocean sparkly wonderful and the first solo story in this series doesn’t disappoint. Can’t wait to read more ‘Bear and Bird’ feel-good stories. Verdict? Great for reading out loud with lots of expression and fun dialogue - children will LOVE this in class and for bedtime stories. So much fun!! I loved all the other stories too. In rather comedic sketch style prose, the reader enjoys Bear’s attempts to cheer up a sad flower, and come to terms with the fact that a flower can talk! Unfortunately for Bear, he tries to cheer up the flower by telling stories about how ‘ SO silly’ his best friend Bird can be sometimes… well… you can guess the innocent flaw in his plan. Then Bear hears something that sounds like crying coming from a rather large flower nearby. Bird accidentally falls into a flower! After a while, Bear wanders outside to find Bird ready for a new day’s adventure, but can’t find her. The first story in the book is ‘The Flower’. Each story demonstrates the ups and downs of Bear and Bird’s (best) friendship dynamic, featuring growth mindset themes of forgiveness, jealousy, kindness, and change. The book contains four short stories: ‘The Flower’, ‘The Picnic’, ‘The Painting’ and ‘The Blanket’. Bear and Bird are unfussy, expressive, relatable and engaging. Jarvis’s artwork is peacefully colourful and cuteness. 🌱This first edition is a hardback book with what I would describe as an earthy palette, calming and inviting with off white gloss-finished thicker pages, illustrations throughout and larger text, spaced wider apart for younger readers embarking on their first chapter book journeys, sumptuous end papers. Bravo! (Book 2 in the series ‘ Adventuremice: Mermouse Mystery’ is out in June) Of course, though, it doesn’t exactly go to plan!! With a happy ending, new beginnings and eco-conscious messages about our oceans, this is a gorgeous new series. WOW! Can Pedro prove himself as a valuable member of the crew? Perhaps a grumpy otter, on the prowl for some mousey snacks might be the opportunity he needs. Young mouse, Pedro leaves his home seeking adventure one day, yet it doesn’t all quite go to plan as he ends up needing to be rescued as he bobs about on the sea atop his suitcase! Thankfully help is at hand, he can’t believe it, he’s being rescued by seaplane, flown by… another mouse!?!! Once safe and sound, back at the pilot’s base, he discovers a crew of mouse rescuers, all experts in their own fields - skipper, pilot, engineer, and more. Fans old and new are going to love these adorable and bold ‘Adventuremice’. McIntyre’s vivid and almost textural illustrations are the perfect compliment to the never-a-dull-moment plots by Reeve.

🌱This kids books mega-awsome collaborative duo are back with a new series for young readers.
