The Sunny Adventure

What a delightful book this is. Firstly, the front cover is so pleasantly appealing to both child and adult. The soft pastel colours invite you in to the perfect, cosy, bedtime read. Which might I add was exactly what this book was; an enjoyable, cosy read.

The illustrations are beautiful and really capture the essence of the story. They weren't on every page but helped break up the story and allow the child to have a visual representation of the characters and setting, which I found enhanced the book.

Alice's writing is very descriptive and paints vivid images in your mind. As a mother to a seven year old and a primary school teacher this is definitely one I would recommend.

Alice uses some fantastic vocabulary choices and synonyms. Once again this would be an excellent text to use within the classroom (and at home) to not only explore vocabulary and the impact words can have to the story line but to enrich the children's own vocabulary.

The story was delightful; a young fox cub going off on her first hunt for food and wants to capture the sun to impress her mum. Along the way she meets the humorous toad and the pair form an unlikely friendship. This friendship in itself is a good focus for discussion and added to my overall enjoyment of the book. The other themes explored in this story are determination, courage, kindness, disappointment and faith.

I was asked by the author to read and review this cute story! Follow the tale of this adorable fox as she tries to bring the sun to her mom and finds friendship and courage along the way. I love the life lessons showcased and cannot wait to read this to my grandbaby. Thank you for the opportunity to read this loveable tale.
