Somewhere deep in the heart of the Pacific Northwest is a wooded glen known as Wetmore Forest...
When Tumblebee's belly aches from snacking on too many mushberries, Bugsy decides he better get Sapwood Mossbottom, the wise elder and healer of Wetmore Forest. But to cure Tumblebee's tummy troubles, Mossbottom needs Pitter-pat root and he's all out of it. Bugsy agrees to fly to Bogwaller Swamp to bring some back even though he isn't sure that his wings are big and strong enough to go so far. And then along the way, he gets caught in a terrible thunderstorm. Can Bugsy save the day?
Review copy/pasted across all 7 books in this series.
From Funko toys comes this seven part children's picture book series, "Wetmore Forest." We all know Funko from their cute big-eyed toys spanning hundreds of fandoms. Funko decided to create their own toys essentially and came up with these books as companions. The gist of this series follows a group of super-cute "monsters" living in a magical, fantasy world called Wetmore Forest. It's all very sweet and adorable. I'm clearly not the target demographic, but I still had a fun time with these. I definitely recommend these books if you have small children in your life. Kids will delight in the adorable critters and their shenanigans. Like all kids books, these have their lessons. Everything from sharing, caring, tackling your fears, believing in yourself, being innovative, and friendship. The art is bright and vibrant, and fairly detailed, and of course, the word I keep using: adorable! Your kids will most likely enjoy these and then want the accompanying Funko figures that go with them.
I absolutely adore this book! The story and the the artwork are so sweet and cute, and I love that the stories have such loveable characters that you can get both plush and Funko Pop versions of to snuggle with or reenact the story with kids! I cant wait to read more and share them with everyone I possibly can!
