Book Faery: Mini Review: The Bad Child's Book of Beasts by Hilaire Belloc

That's all, folks!

3/20/13

For the past year, I have been struggling with both my new passion in nutrition and with attempts to rekindle my old passion in book reviewing. I still love these books and genres, but after three years, reading transformed from a hobby to a job that stressed me out. It didn't help that the community changed and I fell out of the loop.

I will still maintain my twitter account. If you want to chat with me, or if you want to talk books (because let's face it, I'll never STOP reading!), then feel free to follow me on there if you haven't already. Let's tweet!

I thank everyone who has supported me and this blog over the years. Specifically: Alice, Amanda, Book Dragon, and Binah for guest reviewing.

For those of you who are still interested in my thoughts regarding books, I WILL be keeping my GoodReads account active. I will be updating that. So I guess you can say I'm not completely gone :)

So that's all, folks! It's been a fun and amazing journey, and I thank you all for listening to my thoughts about books. I hope we all can keep in touch elsewhere :)

Mini Review: The Bad Child's Book of Beasts by Hilaire Belloc

Humorous and cautionary verses about such animals as the whale, the polar bear, the frog, the dodo, and the yak.

My Rating:

Thoughts:
This book contains a series of poems that are well written that describe the animals in our world. Children will not only find these tales amusing, but also fun to listen to and repeat due to all the rhyming.

I found the tales to be entertaining and catchy; most made me grin. The illustrations accompanying this text are even more beautiful than the ones found in East O’ the Sun and West O’ the Moon. Not only are they realistic, but the attention to detail is astounding.

Recommended for children: Any age.
