Nibbles the Book Monster: 1 (Nibbles (1))

Product Information

love the page of finding nibbles with all the book titles on because it recommends books to children whilst their absorbed within another. But this was a wonderful book that I look forward to reading with my daughter for many years to come. Overall, this is a great read aloud for kiddos and because of the fun format it's one they will pick up and flip through on their own too. Back then my son was way too young to read this book as he was something of a Nibbles' twin, firmly residing in his book-nibbling stage.

The Nibbles books are adorable, interactive picture book stories by talented author/ illustrator Emma Yarlett.Usually a folktale or fairy-tale will only have one specific story that is told, but this version has some of my favorite examples so even I was wowed throughout the story. Eating his way out of one book and into another help the children to predict and feel successful when they figure out the pattern. It seems to me that the monster character is aimed at the very young and a bit silly or even patronizing while the fairy tales contained within the story line would be best read to slightly older children. I enjoyed opening the flaps (there were a lot), hunting for Nibbles, and then at the end doing what needed to be done. Yesterday a parent came over to tell me how impressed she was by the book fair and that you did a fabulous job of selling the books to the children first.

It's hard not to share something I love with my son just yet, but in this case I believe it's worth waiting.BOOK OF THE MONTH - A heart-warming and hilarious story told in 25 chapters, perfect for the countdown to Christmas. I would still recommend going for Nibbles: The Dinosaur Guide first and if you love it, then get this one as well. Also, depending on how much time you have to spend with Nibbles, you can either move quickly through the pages by not reading every little detail if it's a last minute bedtime story, or if you have plenty of time to hang out there is so much detail in the bonus stories that it's easy to knock out a half hour of downtime.

This experience has been fantastic primarily for the children, the school and also for me (professionally). I first saw this book at a book fair quite some time ago and immediately loved its idea, the super cute - pardon me, charismatic - main character, and the style of illustrations. Nibbles was a great character that could be found through the different stories and was changing how the stories were being told. In this book we see him go through a various bunch of fairy tales, like Red Riding Hood, and wreck havoc there.The author creates a twist with the stories by throwing Nibbles into the stories and his tendencies to destroy and nibble things. They will also enjoy reading the blurbs at the end of each story which have been nibbled - and so changed - by Nibbles; something they can practice when re-writing their own fairy tales! If you like children’s books and have an obsession with Usborne books, you are probably no stranger to the Nibbles series.
