My Review:
Sir Lambalot is a charming children’s book with an important message. It has quickly become one of my daughter’s favourite books and she often asks for it at bed time.
The story has a gentle rhyme to it which makes the book easy to read with some parts repeated at times making it easy for my daughter to join in with. There is a lovely message behind the story not to exclude people who are different just from the way they looked which I thought was a nice touch especially as it lead to a few conversations about the subject with my daughter.
There are some beautiful illustrations to accompany the story which are bright and colourful helping younger readers to understand the story. My daughter loves them and uses them when trying to tell the story to herself. They really helped increase her enjoyment of the story, especially finding the little details that she might have missed before.
Overall I thought that this was a lovely children’s book which I’ll definitely be recommending to other parents. Huge thanks to Rachel from Rachel’s Random Resources for inviting me onto the blog tour and for my copy of the book.
