Today I am taking part in a blog tour organised by Rachel of Rachel's Random Resources, with a review for a children's story, The Whisker Twitchers.

There is also a raffle at the bottom of the page to win one of two signed copies of The Whisker Twitchers.

But I would first of all like to thank the author, Kathy Tallentire, for a free paperback copy to review.

The blurb:

Grandad is up to something.

When Bella wakes up to find him gone, she heads to the surface to look for him – but the world looks different.

Can Bella conquer her hear of the unknown to find out what is going on? And where is Grandad?

For bunny lovers everywhere.

My thoughts:

The Whisker Twitchers is a story about a young rabbit called Bella, who discovers snow for the first time. Her Grandad detects snow coming when he sniffs the air and his whiskers twitch, but does not tell Bella why he keeps 'twitching his whiskers'.

When Bella wakes from her sleep, she goes outside to find her grandad and learns that he has built a snow rabbit! Grandad explains about snow and they are joined by other rabbits, having a snow ball fight.

The Whisker Twitchers is written in easily understandable language, whilst introducing a few more difficult words to extend the young reader's vocabulary. Young readers will delight in the wintery feel to this story through both the words and pictures. 

This is a fun little story which will capture the young readers' interest, and is beautifully illustrated throughout.

Author Bio – Kathy Tallentire

Writing is a relatively new part of my life. When I go to schools and am introduced as an author it is still a bit of a surprise to me!

It was the birth of my daughter (in 2016) that changed everything. I had spent many years building up my career in accountancy, accumulating business qualifications and generally working hard in that one field.

Spending time with my little girl and reading hundreds of different children's stories really inspired me. My first book, Nana Duck, was published in 2017. It did well and I found that I enjoyed visiting schools and nurseries. There is nothing like reading your story and getting great reactions from a class full of eager little children.

Now, I'm having ideas all of the time. I'm so looking forward to bringing more stories into the world, to seeing my characters come to life through the talented illustrators that I work with, and inspiring more children in my local area and beyond.
