Things that go Bump :)

-

Every now and again, I have an author who contacts me to review their Children's Picture books. I find it enjoyable as it gives you a chance to sit back and reminiscence on those early childhood days and as a Children's and Teens Librarian , it also provides me with a heads-up on new books :).

Review: "Bella Goes Bump In The Night" - Derek and Gina Roche-2010

"Bella the Great” is a series of children’s picture books (seven and counting) based entirely on our four year old daughter and her amazing imagination. Coupled with the life lessons that we’re trying to pass on and told in a manner that is entertaining for both child and parent alike, our books are guaranteed to be a family favorite for generation after generation. "Bella Goes Bump In The Night is the first book released and the only book available so far. Please check back often and sign our guestbook so that we can notify you when the next books become available. We hope you enjoy the world of Bella The Great".

All Bella wants is a peaceful night's sleep , but as we are about to find out this is an impossible task as beyond the night sky, their a many a things that go "Bump in the Night". With the current supernatural trend , this picture book fits in perfectly featuring creatures such as Zombies, Wizards, Warlocks, Ghouls and Minotaurs. My favourite quote in the story is "Leprechauns,Minotaurs, Cyclops - Oh My, Werewolves , Gremlins and Dragons who fly". This quote reminded me of the Wizard of Oz when Dorothy and her friends are singing Tigers , lions and bears , oh my. Bella the Great throughout the story holds a nice rhythm that the children will soon be able to join in , the book is short, sharp and sweet and will keep the child's attention. This is always a necessity when dealing with children's books. The Artwork , each page is detailed with gorgeous artwork of the creatures that go bump in the night and will keep the younger ones entertained with a full-page of colour.

This is one children's book, that I will be recommending to family and friends . A fun and interactive picture book to add to your collection.

Review: Steel Princess - Book #2 Royal Elite Series - Rina Kent - December 2019 At the end of Book #1, we were left on a cliffhanger of Elsa being pushed into the pool. At the beginning of book #2, she is saved by a newcomer to the school - Knox.  We can see some friendly flirting but nothing more going on between these two, but it riles up Aiden who still has this mindset of "if I can't have her, no-one can" especially since he is supposed to be engaged to Silver Queens. During Book #2 Elsa starts to recall some more memories and goes to Dr.Khan in hopes that he can open her Pandora's box and can restore her full memories of what happened before she was seven years old. We also catch a glimpse during this book of her past and why Aiden King's father blames her for his mother's death and why Aiden considered Elsa a ghost. I liked this book as it was more intense with Elsa's memories and past returning. In Book #2 it is revealed about he...

  Review: Punk 57 - Penelope Douglas - October 2016 As soon as I read Bully by Penelope Douglas, I was in love with this author. So when she released a new one who had my favorite theme of penpals and that whole friend to lovers going on, I knew I had to read it. The book started out with a bit of background where we learned about how Misha and Ryen were placed together in a classroom project penpal program. The pair continues to write to each other right through the year, and then they take it to the next level and continue through the rest of their schooling. Fast forward to high school Misha is in a band and Ryen is out with her friends and they complete a scavenger hunt form. Ryen is not what Misha expected especially from her letters. Tragedy occurs, and Misha turns up at Ryen's school under a fake name. This doesn't go over too well as Ryen is nothing like her letters, in fact, she is as fake as can be and Misha aka Masen hates her, in fact, she...
