MY TIDBITS
This is the first book in a series, which is a continuous story about Brendan and his adventures with creatures who only appear in fairy tales. In the beginning, the author states the importance of reading a little bit every day and how beneficial and important this especially is for young listeners. This book goes on that principle and offers a short tale to begin the journey.
Brendan is an average kid, who wants to explore outside. While walking between the trees, he discovers the last thing he expected to see.
The writing is great for kids and easy to understand. Descriptions are kept to a minimum, allowing the adventure to move along at a nice pace. There aren't any illustrations, which is too bad but if this is read aloud as a good night tale, that isn't necessarily a problem. The characters are sweet and the happenings come right out of the imagination, letting kids embark on a promising journey. The biggest critique I have is simply the length--it's a bit too short and feels more like a chapter than a book.
Still, it's a good idea and the beginning to a cute adventure.
And here he is. . .
