Children are fascinated with a story full of colors, surprises and of course love it when the animals are part of it. Today we are reviewing a book for children by Deepna Nagar, this book is introduced to us by the Writersmelon team.
The children's book is most difficult to pen, sighting the audience and their understanding level the author has to weave a story that is connected to children, have a message and a good percentage of work, let's see if all this is considered in this book.
Book Title & Book Cover:
The book title ‘The Bug The Bear and Baby Boo’ by Deepna Nagar catches your attention from the title itself. All the characters starting from letter ‘B’ makes the title interesting plus creates a jingle kind of line with the long title in a smart way.
The book cover as you see in the above picture is completely depicting the characters in a linear yet attractive manner. The letter B is prominent in the title and the design is well played to make the long title look remarkable for children.
Story line:
The story is set in olden days and Baby Boo's family resides in a cave, she and her mother are out of the cave to fetch the water then Baby Boo spots a rare Bug and starts following it. Later she realizes she is far away from her mother and surrounded by danger. Does the Bear help her out or adds to her trouble is the surprise we need to look for in the book? And whether Baby Boo gets to see the Bug and Bear again?
Book Design & Illustration:
· The book is light weight and just 34 pages book which is colorful and adds a spark in a child's eyes.
· The book pages are very well designed and the letters are printed in a larger font so that kids can easily read it out without any stress.
· The floral border in all the pages makes the story more relatable to the story line.
· The illustrations done by Notion Press are very well done and the best part is the illustrations are on a double page, so that the child can completely focus on the picture and look at how story is going forward.
· The illustrations are simple yet striking and take the story forward.
· If your child is unable to read then explaining through illustrations will also work well.
Message for children:
Every story has a message or let me say we look for message-oriented stories more in the children book. At the end of the story we want to learn a virtue and gain knowledge from a story. The story has a significance and states the message in a clear way that children should not wander if alone and if they are alone in any circumstances, they should face it with all their might.
Child perspective review:
My little one who is learning the sight words in her senior kindergarten was excited to read a few words from the book. And the font and the pictures are much liked and she likes the strong Baby Boo. The story is well taken by her and she narrates it in her own words to others by pointing it to illustrations.
About the Author:
Deepna Nagar has worked in the Human Resources department for most of the years in her profession. She stepped into the story telling world when her daughter was born. She enjoys the story telling world and this book is her attempt at getting her readers to build a bond with their kids in the reading sessions.
Final Word:
The book is short and quick to read to children at bed time. This is perfect for ages 3 to 7 as it is short and improves reading skill. The children above 7 to age 12 can read it in one go. The book has a message in a simple ecstatic way and children will enjoy reading the story of a different era.
