Nayu's thoughts
As
someone who is still a bit afraid of the dark (I'm not ashamed to
admit that) any book which tackles the fear catches my eye. I smiled
loads at the gentle way Big Brown eased Small Blue's worries: it's
true that as well as thinking there's something evil in the dark we
can thing something fun is there too.
Poor Small Blue who is adorable ^o^ |
It was interesting looking at
the dark in a different light (pun not on purpose). The best part had
to be sock knitting pirates – anything which encourages yarn crafts
makes a book a winner in my view. The illustrations are absolutely
adorable – I'm a huge bunny fan and fell in love with Small Blue
straight away.
I hope there are more Small Blue Adventures, and maybe
even a toy as Small Blue would look good in a super soft fabric.
(There are sock knitting pirates in this mega adorable fear of the
dark banishing read)
