I requested for this book on NetGalley because of the colourful and captivating cover. I loved the cover so much that I had to read the book. The Brooch by Sandeep Kumar Mishra is a cute picture book conveying a beautiful message-the language of kindness and compassion.

Just like the cover, the illustrations too are bright, colourful, and attractive. The story teaches the beauty of kindness and how it spreads all around in a butterfly effect.

But honestly, I struggled to read the book and skipped quite a bit. Somehow, the book failed to grab my attention.

These are a few things that did not work in favour for the book.

I felt the book was not perfectly adapted to the targeted audience. Younger readers cannot read this on their own and would struggle to understand even when they are being read to. This book might be appropriate for students in grade 5, but it lacks sufficient content to even hold their attention.

There is a lot of text on every page, with many hard words. The font size and style could have been adapted to grab the interest of early readers. The images, though colourful and bright, do not go hand in hand with the text. Also, too many details are captured in the illustrations, which again makes the reading challenge.

The story needs another round of editing and proofreading. There are grammatical errors and sentences requiring restructuring.

The Brooch has a lovely message to share with children and the world but fails miserably on account of poor execution.

A cute little story for children.

[Travis Reynolds · Rating 5 out of 5]

It was quite easy for me to read/follow from start/finish & never a dull moment. Lots of exciting scenarios, with several twists/turns & a great set of unique characters, settings, etc. to keep track of.

A very cute, adorably illustrated kid's book, that is great for young children. An adorable story with a take home lesson for all. The illustrations are well done. Recommended for all ages. Loved it.

[Simeon Schultz · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book is great for all children. The illustrations are colourful. My brother enjoys having it read to her over and over again. I think this book can be enjoyed by children of all ages. However I think for a child will have to be on 3rd or 4th grade reading level to read it independently .

I bought this for my 8 year old sister who was able to read this fine on her own. She told me she really enjoyed the story, loved the pictures and would like to read more books by the author. Price very reasonable also.

Firstly, this was a gift for a 7 year old. I do not think she could read it alone but I gift books in hopes of fostering family time. I think the book has beautiful illustrations. I also think they rattle on a little long and it's hard to hold the attention of their intended audience.

[Johny Bravo · Rating 5 out of 5]

I would recommend this book to parents for consideration as an early development tool for their children’s behaviour.
