Victor is a hunter who has just achieved his dream of shooting a cheetah. But when he goes to bed, dreams of a different kind take over, which will change the way Victor treats animals for the rest of his life.
Victor has a simple narrative, but will give young readers a lot to think about. It can be used to introduce children to complex topics, such as animal cruelty and hunting, but also more some they will find it easier to relate to, like fitting in and making amends for your mistakes.
However, it is its illustrations which make Victor truly shine. This picture book is visually stunning with a striking colour pallet in orange, teal and grey. The cover is immediately eye catching and would be difficult to walk past in a shop without stopping for a closer look. Because I read it on the Netgalley app on my phone, I can't take any pictures which do it justice, but it's worth googling to take a look!
Thank you Pushkin Press for letting me review Victor through NetGalley
