Children's Fictional Story |
| Description | |
This is the story of a sort of magical
fairy-like creature called Victoria Plum who helps a family of badgers get ready
for their winter hibernation (except that
badgers do not hibernate!). I guess if you like the Victoria Plum series
of books you will like this one. For us, it seems to have been written by an
adult with very very old-fashioned views about families and badgers. As for it being
a children's book, it certainly looks like one, but the complexity of the words
used in the story doesn't really make it great for young children. It's sort of
one step on from a baby book, with teenage words in it. |
| Summary |
|
If you like Victoria Plum it's great for
you, but not one of our favourites. |
