Reviews – adults
What adults say about Twevven’s little life stories.
Just wanted to give you a little feedback from the audience that matters with such books! I read Twevven (dangerous situation) to a class of kindergarteners (five and six years old) and they loved it! We talked about the lesson and they all said it was a good one and many said they have heard that lesson from parents. We discussed how, even though they have heard this advice before, it is always good to hear it again, to remind themselves to follow the rules, whatever they might be. Fun activity!

They don’t appeal to me, but they do appeal to kids!

I enjoyed most of the story and Campbell laughed a lot!

Now here is a children’s book that will resonate with the kids. It is cheeky, irreverent and might just scare the big people. But kids will love how much trouble Twevven gets into and the unusual way he gets there. Twevven just wants to ‘do good’ but in the process he gets a whiff of the unusual and a face full of the unexpected. This is a delightful read and will be one of those books kids will want adults to read to them over and over. Hearty congratulations to Author Ian Burns and a special mention to Lauren Eldridge-Murray, whose illustrations are captivating and hilarious.

Twevven the bear is at it again. Ian Burns and Lauren Eldridge-Murray have done it again but this time they have given a water safety message via Twevven the lovable bear who just always seems to be in trouble. Once again as was alluded to in my review of ‘Twevven and the horrible big bigger biggest baby burp’ parents may find the story a bit confronting but kids will be delighted by Twevven’s water adventure. You rock Twevven!

10/10. He laughed at the funny bits, laughed at the messy bits, liked the names of places, paid attention throughout the reading. He would like to hear it again. Thought it was ‘crazy’! Laughed so much with messy bits!!!
