Georgie and Lydia are a pair of little bookworms, so when they received these three lovely Christmas children’s books to add to their ever-expanding library, they were delighted. All three of these books have been a great success with the girls, and it’s not hard to see why.
Marshmallows for Martians is the sequel to one of Georgie’s favourite books, Spaghetti with the Yeti. The main character, George, is off for a second adventure to Mars in the hopes of meeting some Martians, so he can find out what sweets they like best.
Georgie loves trains, and really enjoys anything Thomas the Tank Engine, so when we were sent this book to review she was incredibly excited! It’s a lovely big ABC book, with loads of flaps and interesting things to explore.
It is an ABC book, so the text goes “A is for Annie, B is for Bertie, C is for Call,” and so on. The variety of things chosen for each letter are great; not every letter is a train engine! Of course, the favourites are in there, and T is for Thomas! This book is an attractive square hardback book measuring around 25 x 25cm.
After being pleased with my September and October boxes, I have to say that my November box was a disappointment in comparison. Arriving near the end of the month, the box seemed fairly empty and only one or two of the items really excited me.
This book is incredible fun, Georgie loved it from the very first moment she saw it.
In Spaghetti with the Yeti, a boy called George sets off on an quest to find the Yeti. The pace, rthymn & rhyme of this book are all perfect, making this a pleasure to read aloud.
