Reviews
Praise for the Animal Adventure Club series:
'Perfect for children embarking on their first independent reading journey. The story is exciting, and it's great to have an outdoor setting and caring characters who feel familiar.
Crucially, Hannah George's pictures are lovely and plentiful, and the language and pace of the story are comfortably manageable for newer readers.'
-- Roaring Reads
'While this book certainly will appeal to animal lovers, it also does a nice job of injecting expected norms for working successfully in a group and the importance of accepting others and being empathetic.'
