A magical story of friendship and adventure.
Samuel the sloth dreams of leaving his sleepy home and discovering the wonders of the forest beyond, but his family would rather sleep the day away and Samuel is afraid of what he might find outside the safety of his home. When a sparkling dinglewot arrives to lead him off on an adventure, Samuel discovers that facing your fears can lead to endless fun and new experiences.
This is one of the prettiest picture books I've read this year! Every page is full of colour and joy. The cover sparkles with a beauty it's very hard to capture on camera and the inside is just as wonderful. I would buy other books illustrated by Amanda Enright immediately off the strength of this.
The words were also lovely, encouraging readers to take risks by trying new things, and not to let their fears hold them back. Samuel and the dinglewot go on an adventure filled with animals, parties and flights through the jungle, providing non stop excitement and fun.
Thank you so much New Frontier Publishing for sending me a copy to review.
