Everything about this book is great! The animal characters feel so real and I love all their quirky behaviours that really made me laugh (Armadillo who likes to wear his dressing gown inside out!) I found myself completely immersed in their world. This is the third book in the series about the two friends Armadillo and Hare. They have such a lovely friendship. They are so different: Armadillo who likes to sit wearing his special cardigan and slippers, eating tomato jam and cheese and Hare who is so energetic and sporty. Both so different but such good friends and the way they talk and tease each other is very funny.
In this story a new arrival, Flamingo, causes a stir amongst the animals when she arrives singing with a giant bath tub planted in the middle of the forest. The other animals don't know what to make of her and it leads to lots of discussion about what to do. This book is heart warming and funny from beginning to end and is the perfect book to read to young children. The illustrations are stunning and bring the brilliant characters to life. I would love to read this in school to a Year 1/2 class. This would also be a great early chapter book for children aged 6 or 7 to read independently. I have already ordered the first two books in this series to read with my daughter and I can't wait! A must read for all children.
Thank you to NetGalley and David Fickling books for this ARC.
