Genre: Children’s Picture Book
Description:
“Meet the dwarves of Dimmerdown! These fun-loving creatures roam
around their tiny world, exploring caverns and traipsing down riverbanks.”
Author:
After years working as a freelance editor, Laura Pruett decided to start
writing herself, initially aiming at younger readers. This is her second children’s
book with some aimed at older readers on the way.
Appraisal:
I read this to my 10-year-old granddaughter who we’ll call LBG here. Although
at the top end of the age range this book is aimed at, LBG is a kid with an
active imagination and this seemed like a good fit. The vocabulary was appropriate
for the age range in question with words they should understand, but a few that
might help expand the vocabulary of some of those reading or having this book
read to them. The tale, talking about some mythical dwarves that might be out
there wandering around, but trying not to be spotted by we humans, would get
the imagination going, however, as presented isn’t too spooky. When I asked LBG
what she thought of the story she gave me a definitive thumbs up.
