Reviews
There are so many incredible books available at the moment that it is impossible to read them all, no matter how hard I try! Here are my thoughts about some of the books I have read and how I think they could be used in school as well as Q and A sessions with authors and illustrators.
Donut Squad Make a Mess!
Having defeated the Bagels, those sworn enemies of all Donuts, the Donut Squad is heading for the Great Outdoors for some camping.
It is almost impossible to review the chaotic madness which is at the heart of ‘Donut Squad Make a Mess!’- it is one of those books which you just have to read to enjoy! In a series of crazy capers, the Donuts shenanigans are presented in comic strips interspersed with adverts and puzzles- name that donut!- whilst a shocking secret means the Bagels might not have been as defeated as the Donuts thought!
There is something very addictive about these illustrations and their zany humour which make the books irresistible. Drawing advice is offered at the end of the book, inspiring children to create their own Donut adventures- or just have some fun doodling. It’s no wonder children (and adults!) find these books so appealing.
