My review of River and the Amazing Yellow Wellie Adventure by Emily Dreeling, Illustrated by Misha Jovanovic
I was provided an advanced copy of this eBook by NetGalley and Author Emily Dreeling for review considerations.
This review expresses my own personal opinion. I have not been asked to post it by the author, their publishing company or anyone connected with the book or author.
River and the Amazing Yellow Wellie Adventure is a book geared towards young readers age 3 to 5, maybe 6 or 7 depending on how advanced the child is in their reading and understanding.
It is a wonderful little story about four friends who happen to be talking boots or wellies in the British vernacular who find the courage to venture beyond their known little world, to explore and learn, and rely on each other as they search for the mysterious three wise women seeking answers to two important questions (nope, not telling you what the questions are). They are joined by River who, like the wellies, will learn about themselves during this journey into the unknown.
The writing is well done and brings you and your little one into the story in a humorous, imaginative way. Dreeling's story conveys that courage can call at any age and relying on yourself and helping your friends can be personally rewarding. The message is positive, uplifting, and wrapped in a blanket of warmth and love.
In an earlier life, I used to draw and therefore look for illustrations that bring out the imagination, that captivate the reader, I was not disappointed. Illustrator Misha Jovanovic does a good job in bringing out the characters in bold vivid strokes, helping the story come to life in a fun and inviting way. Little readers will love each character through Jonvanovic’s work.
I recommend this book be added to your little one's collection.
