Lee Pritchett has done it again. He has a new book titled, "Bert
Tumblefluff and Friends." As his last book "The Tale of Greta Gumboot
and Other Stories," this is also a collection of stories set in a
magical world. Many of these stories are sequels to previous stories
from the first book but they are easy to pick up even having not read
the first book.
Greta Gumboot, Gilbey, and Mr. Bumble return to new
adventures any child will enjoy. Broken up into many separate stories,
this is a book that will be hard for children to put down. Yet with
each story a complete tale in itself children can finish one and have
the anticipation of a new one for tomorrow.
Holly and the Epheline
were my favorites in Pritchett's first book and they continue to be my
favorite in the new book. Pritchett has outdone himself with stories
and illustrations. Many of these stories could have been a storybook by
itself, but Pritchett has compiled them into one big fun book. I think
your children will enjoy "Bert Tumblefluff and Friends" as much as they
liked "The Tale of Greta Gumboot and Other Stories."
