Helllooooooo? I'm tired and cold! I just hiked up this enormous mountain in snow, and I'm freezing to death! Where are you? Why do I have to hike all the way up the mountain in snow just to ask you two questions?"...[The little girl] stomped her foot in frustration..."It's not very nice of you to make me wait for so long to see you, especially when I have trudged such a long way up a cold mountain in the snow!""Oh!"

‘Children aged 6 – 9 will love this sparkling, often thoughtful, story.’
A ‘Wishing Shelf’ Book Review
EDITORIAL REVIEW
I rather enjoyed these two short novels for children; but, most importantly, so did my 7 yr old daughter. Firstly, the story in both book [Vol. 1 and Vol. 2] s is well-written. The writing style is apt for children of my daughter’s age: short paragraphs with plenty happening to keep a child’s alert mind amused. The characters, particularly the rather melodramatic Magic Moon, are fun to follow; the adventure packed full of twists and turns to keep even 7 yr old boys amused.
The author works hard to offer the young reader a message. Hidden within the second book, thinking of others and the importance of family. But the author understands how important it is not to ‘push it in the face’ of the young reader. The message is there, but the reader can also, if they wish, simply enjoy a sweetly written story.
Now to the illustrations. For my daughter, they were the best part of the books. Yes, she enjoyed the plots, characters and settings, but it was the colourful, even delightful, drawings that had her enthralled. There are plenty too in both books, and they, along with the lightly written story, kept her enthralled all evening.
I would think any parent who is looking for a lightly written, fun-filled, fantasy story for children aged 6 – 9 would find both books fit the bill perfectly. Also, there’s a lovely theme of ‘happiness’ to the novels that parents will be happy to share with young children.
Colorfully illustrated and with plenty happening to keep a child amused, they might prove very popular at bedtime.
