Genie Street is a magical place where anything can happen. This is an ideal ebook for children who are gaining in reading confidence and want to progress to reading a proper chapter book. Each book is split into two stories, with large type and plenty of pictures, so that children can read it for themselves, with a sense of achievement. Ideal for Key Stage 1 children.
When Daisy and Tom move to Genie Street, they are worried they might be bored. But before long they meet a talking cat called Jinx, and find out that nobody who lives on the street is quite what they seem! Old Mrs Kramer looks like an ordinary old lady, but in fact she is a dragon tamer! What will happens when Daisy and Tom join her for an adventure?
Book 1 in the Genie Street series.
Hedderwick's observations are a delight for children and adults alike
—— Shelf LifeA wonderfully cautionary tale; subtly told and beautifully illustrated
—— Kate Agnew , GuardianThe book is a series of funny adventures and misunderstandings with a reassurance that even if, inevitably, you are sometimes untidy, noisy or cruel, you still have the potential to be lovely
—— Nicolette Jones , The Sunday TimesYoung readers will be shocked, fascinated and amused by Edwardo's misdeeds whilst also identifying with his horriblest moments . . . A tour de force
—— Books for KeepsA wonderful book about seeing the best in people
—— JuniorA story with a valuable message
—— Oxford TimesThe illustrations are nicely unusual and felt accessible. Overall, the book is nicely presented. It's great to find a book that my children like which doesn't involve super-hero's or television/film characters!
This book has become a firm favourite in our house and has sparked off a few drawing sessions. Well worth acquiring, if you have a toddler. It scores very highly in our house!
A book that is literally about how great books are
—— Scottish Sunday HeraldA quirky and unusual story brought to the young reader as two unlikely friends find themselves in a unique situation that allows them to grow together. It’s unusual, it has some great illustrations and demonstrates that whilst people may be different, similarities can allow everyone to become friends. Add to this some bright colours, great use of prose which when backed with the authors unique storytelling style really brings this title together on so many levels.
A truly wonderful read and one that I really can’t wait to share with my nephews.
