Youngest kiddo seems to have developed a taste for writing reviews, and who am I to say no? Here’s another review by my smallest bookworm about one of our absolute favourites this year, Rory and the Snack Dragons by the lovely Louisa MacDougall.
I absolutely loved the sense of fun in this book – I don’t want to spoiler anything, but bicycles feature heavily, and crunchily, as does my own favourite vegetable, the sprout. Honestly, if this isn’t on your shelf yet, then you won’t regret buying a copy. It feels like the sort of story created by parent-and-children in tandem, giggling past bedtime – a real slice of goofy magic and nostalgia. I can’t recommend it highly enough.
I first read an extract of this book before it was published because it was shortlisted for the Kelpies Prize 2022. I was really excited that it was getting published and couldn’t wait for it to come out. 😉
Rory and the snack dragons is a fantastic book for children AND adults. I really liked that Rory was not considered a villain like most dragons are, because it means that it can give the reader a different kind of main character. I also liked that it shows that not all books have to be serious. I mean I`ve never read any classics and serious books are good but it gives you a nice quick break.
