The Complete Tales of the Doodlebers

Review -The Complete Tales of the Doodlebers - Mervyn Joseph- May 2010

Have you ever held a children's book and opened it up and brought face to face with tales of joy, laughter and rhyme , books written in the tradition of famous authors like Dr Seuss. I hadn't , not for a while anyway. The Complete tales of the Doodlebers is just that , it is fun and easy to read , and once you start reading a tale you don't want to put it down. The Complete Tales of Doodlebers contains a series of four short short stories , and follow the lives of the family of Doodlebers -you have Josie , Oliver , Mary, Arthur and their brother Charles who is likened to the Grinch - remember that big scary dude that hated Christmas and tried to steal it. This story also had to me a feel of Alice in Wonderland ,with all the magical creatures from the Doodlebers who I can imagine in my mind look a bit like Wombles -not sure why to the Griffin-hoy who I imagine looks a bit like that big fluffy dog that flies in the sky in the movies "the Never-ending story". As you read these tales , Im sure each and everyone of us will conjure up a different image, but one thing that is certain to remain the same is that no matter what creatures our mind creates , the stories are amazing and something that everyone will love and the stories due to the rhyming and great rhythm patterns make them perfect to read to little children and primary school aged.

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...
