Just finished another one of Ellie's cute tales!

I loved reading more about Basil and his adventures with Brigid! The illustrations were amazingly done and suited the story well. What a fun take on the idiom "That's the way the cooking crumbles". I finished this in under an hour and absolutely loved every page.

If you want to read children stories, definitely give Ellie's book and particularly this series a chance!

Fun Christmas Mystery!

This was a cute and fun Christmas story. Watching Brigid try her best to find the cookies for Santa with Basil by her side. I love that fairies play a part this time, but that they weren't the culprit, and it was just a misunderstanding.

Loved this adorable Christmas children’s book with Brigid and her basset hound Basil. The Christmas story is heartwarming, as together, they have to solve the mystery of Santa’s missing cookies, and the illustrations are adorable. This is a lovely story for young readers and would make a lovely holiday present! Includes a cookie recipe at the end! 5/5 stars.
