She can also identify strongly with a dad who is particular about his hair and tends to fall asleep too! I like that Count Bartholomew chooses to put his family before his grooming and personal time and embraces the holiday spirit, kind of like that holiday advert a few years ago where the grumpy bear turns back into a dad on holiday.įrom a parent and educator's perspective there's a beautiful innocence and complete lack of cynicism in Muncaster's writing, some fantasy books in this age group can try to be cool or slightly aloof by gently mocking or bringing in 'cool' popular trends to temper down a fantasy realm as if it's 'too much', Muncaster just goes with it in the style of magical realism, she sets us up from the opening paragraphs as if this world is just the way it is and completely normal and the reader goes along unquestionably. I think she identifies strongly with Isadora Moon thanks to an alternative vibe in our home, mummy probably is a grown up Isadora too and she too has a baby sister, and she loves to walk the line between pink and black, Princess Aurora and Wednesday Addams in equal measure. ![]() My 5 year old recieved this for her birthday and she loves this story, who wouldn't? it's mummys favourite so far too. Her ever-vain father has brought along a family heirloom comb along with suitcases of grooming goods and the beautiful comb just looks darling on Isadora's epic sandcastle so she sneaks it away from her sleeping father, of course she forgets and it is washed away in the tide which sets up for an adventure to rep over the previous comb involving Pink Rabbit, magic necklaces and mermaids. This story concerns Isadora's family summer holiday camping at the seaside. Perfect for the emerging reader market this early chapter book with conversational style prose is as if Isadora has invited you over to her house and is telling you about her adventure acting out with her toys before rushing downstairs for tea. Isadora Moon is the wonderful half-fairy, half vampire child with unruly hair and twinkling eyes as she is irrepressible and wonderfully herself.
