Recenzii

ITVs Daybreak: All the fun stuff kid's enjoy! Sounds perfect! ReaditDaddy: Pale Henry, the sad tale of a lad who just doesn't like going out, Calvin conjures up a story that could almost mirror my teenage years (go out and DO things? Are you crazy? I've got a ZX Spectrum at home, why on earth would I want to go out into the real world?) Henry soon realises that being pale, thin and wan isn't the be all and end all, and out there are trees to climb, people to meet and other kids to play with. These bite-sized little rhyming story books (also available on Kindle as well as in print) are deliciously dark, reminding us of cool stuff by Charles Addams and Edward Gorey. If your children have a taste for the macabre or even the slightly icky, then they're going to love these a lot. Great format for little story books (the sort of thing I could well imagine toting around in a back pocket as a kid and pulling out during boring maths lessons - excellent!) Archie Gibson 8yrs Old: Pale Henry is a sad story to start with but it all ends up being very happy when Henry goes outside to play with the children who live near him. I liked the book a lot as it lets you know that you don't have to be afraid of things and that you should have fun and be happy. The drawing are all very funny with lots of hidden things to find. Chez Maximka: The end of the book of verses is rather endearing and amusing. Despite the fact that Henry enjoys playing with the children during the week, he is as happy to spend his weekends back in the comfort of his attic, with the cat and insects for company. The message that this book sends is that it is OK to be different and true to yourself. There is no need to conform. It is reassuring for children to read that being different is perfectly acceptable and that it is "fun to be normal... but not all the time" Theminimesandme.com: Pale Henry is a book based on a young boy aged 8 who has spent his childhood hidden away in the attic as he is too shy and afraid to play outside. One day he decides he has had enough of the darkness and being alone so he ventures outside realising just how great it is to have fun with others. The story will help to encourage children to build friendships and step into the unknown by helping them to understand it's not as difficult as it seems and a lot of fun can be had when you try new things. It also helps children to feel that being different from the norm is fine and that if you don't want to join in every time that is OK too. This story features more imagery of spiders and bugs and is another interesting yet original read.
