Children's Book Spotlight - Molly's Magic Brolly by Sarah Morrell


Molly's Magic Brolly by Sarah Morrell
Published 22nd September 2019 by Blue Falcon Publishing

I was gifted a copy of this book from the publisher in exchange for an honest review. 

Synopsis (from publishers website)
Molly is desperate for a nice, new dolly. So when Grannie sends her a special gift, Molly is sure it’s the dolly she’s been dreaming of…
but she’s in for a surprise!
Molly’s Magic Brolly is an enchanting tale of new adventures and old friends.
This beautiful picture book will take young readers on a journey of magic and wonder! Aimed at children up to approximately 7 years old, it contains an important lesson about gratitude and appreciation, which is brought to life by playful colour illustrations.
My Thoughts
Another great children's picture book from Blue Falcon Publishing. I don't think I've received a book from them yet that I haven't liked! This ones written using rhyming phrases which is one of my favourite writing styles for children's books. I love the way the story flowed and there were some aspects of repetition throughout that will encourage the children to join in with the story telling. Some lovely illustrations throughout too that children will love. 
I agree with the above synopsis and I think that this book does a great job and prompting important discussions about gratitude and appreciation with older children however, the fun writing style and lovely illustrations will appeal to younger children as well. On first sight this book does seem geared towards girls however, I think that many children, girls and boys alike, will enjoy this book so please don't let this put you off. This is one I will be sharing with my class and I hope they enjoy the experience as much as I did.
