Denise McCabe is a children's book author and blogger. She resides in Dublin with her husband and two children. When she gets time, her favorite pastime is writing and reading with a cup of tea at hand. Her ultimate goal is to see her children grow up in a happy environment and live content, peaceful lives while trying to stay sane in the meantime. You can find her books on Amazon.
A tale to deal with the universal problem of children who won't tidy away their toys. I read it to my Grand Nieces who loved the book but seemed dubious about following through on the message. It is the second book I have read to them from Denise McCabe, the other being Gubble Bubble Kingdom and they thoroughly enjoyed both story and lovely colourful artwork in both cases. Suitable for the age group, I can only give what the girls gave this book and that is a giant thumbs up. 5 stars out of 5 from the target audience.
Struggling with a child over cleaning up after themselves? Tripped over a toy left in the living room after they promised they would put it away? Then this adventure is the perfect choice. Denise McCabe, a talented children’s book author, takes you to a place where a child wants to clean up because they want to explore more. The images are visually engaging and age appropriate. The story is one that will immediately be relatable to children and adults. It may offer a teachable moment or it may become a bedtime story favorite. I believe it will end up being both. I highly recommend this to parents with small children.
This is the third of Denise McCabe's stories I've read to my little ones and it was met with the same fun and giggles. The illustrations are cute and colourful adding fun to the story. Denise McCabe always manages to add just the right amount of silliness to make children giggle; she has got their sense of humour sussed! She also sneaks in a sensible message and I hope this story prompts my three to tidy away their toys more often.
