The second book is this fun series – Tiggy and the magic paintbrush – takes us back to school on pet day.
I’ve never been to a school pet day, but I can imagine they would be lots of fun (and a bit chaotic) but also possibly worrying for children who don’t have a pet.
Tiggy is one of those children, but luckily with her big imagination and magic paintbrush, she can create the best pet that anyone could ask for!
And even though Tiggy can’t quite take a photo of her new pet, she is able to draw one and show her friends just how wonderful he is.
You’ll have to read the story to find out what Tiggy’s pet is and why children will love reading this book!
Zanni has written this story with young children and their beautifully creative imagination in mind. There are so many great ideas just waiting to be found in the big world but so often children’s lives are too busy with organised activities or technology they just don’t have the space to dream big.
This story just shows how important imagination is, how it fills your soul and mind with happiness and wonder – and encourages us to show who we are.
Tiggy is a delightful character, as are her friends and with the magic paintbrush in tow, anything can happen!
Tiggy and the magic paintbrush – a pet called nibbles has been a very popular read for my children (aged 6 and 4) and the students at school (I’ve read this to Kindergarten to Year 3!) so keep an eye out for this wonderful new series – I’m sure it will delight!
