Welcome to The Kid’s Korner.

I decided to do this feature as I have so many great children’s books to share. From picture books, to books for beginning readers, to middle graders, I have plenty of fun ones.

Today I’m sharing a brand new release!

The Day That A Ran Away

by B.C.R. Fegan

Illustrated by Lenny Wen

Genre: Illustrated Children’s Book

My Review

 I’m sure tons of teachers have heard the excuse, “the dog at my homework.” But Jet insists he did his, but the letters ran away, leaving a blank page.

 The zany, colorful illustrations wouldn’t let me go. I kept leaning in to see what was hidden on each page. Don’t rush from page to page. Take time to look at everything. There were some hidden messages and fun learning tools used in the pictures. And the story was a crazy adventure. The letters were actual characters and ran willy nilly everywhere.  Jet was in hot pursuit.  The more he pursued them, the faster they ran away.

I’m going to gush a bit now. This imaginatively written and delightfully illustrated book was a blast to read. It made my heart happy and kept a grin on my face. I felt all bubbly after reading it and enthusiastically recommend it.

 

I received a complimentary copy from TaleBlade Press. Thanks so much and thank you to Author B.C.R. Fegan for this delightful book. My review is voluntarily given.

Synopsis

While Mrs May is checking her students’ homework, she notices that Jet hasn’t managed to write down the letters of the alphabet. Instead of providing a familiar excuse, Jet offers Mrs May an elaborate story about how every letter happened to leave his page while he was walking to school that morning.

The Day That A Ran Away clearly and cleverly moves through the alphabet from A to Z. Each page has a number of items to find and the simple rhyme on each page will help readers remember the letter sequence. The story also touches gently on the concept of homework and the importance of making an effort.

Did you know… each page has hidden items to find?

Did you know… each letter has its own secrets?

Look closely at the pictures and letters… so many secrets to learn.

The Day That A Ran Away will be available in hardcover, paperback, Kindle and ePub through all major online retailers

Author B.C.R. Fegan

I think you can tell a good children’s book by the desire of a child to hear it read to them again… and again! Or perhaps to see a child sitting by themselves engrossed in the story – turning each page and even reading aloud what they remember of the text. A good children’s book often goes beyond the narrative of the story itself and provides instead a platform from which the child’s own imagination takes flight.

It is from this place that the stories you find here have been crafted. Written not, by the adult carefully layering imaginative themes upon any number of agenda’s, but instead written by the child within. These are tales where anything can happen and where adventures lurk around every corner. Each story begins with the desire to delight young children; to tantalise their imaginations; and to kindle their curiosity.

Through each story’s natural progression, there are certainly lessons that parents can easily highlight to their children. However the main focus of each and every one of these books is for the reader and child alike to simply sit back, get drawn into the adventure, and enjoy a good tale.

I hope you enjoy them!
