Children's Book

A singing pea, a hungry dinosaur, vain fairies and a gluttonous giant....and many more vibrant characters are to be found in Lil Alexander's children's book, Yummy Stories.

Yummy Stories is a collection of children's fairy tales. Each story tells it's own tale of entertaining characters who find themselves thrown into a magical adventure. It not only tells wonderful stories, but each express important messages about healthy eating habits.

Each story contains original and colorful caricatures who are engaging and fun. They possess the perfect personalities to draw in any young reader.

I greatly enjoyed the author's writing style and it is on par with traditional fairy tale story telling. There is rhyming and line repetition, but is used when appropriate and is not over done. Each story used variations of these styles, making each tale separate from the other.

Wonderful illustrations are as necessary to a children's book as the actual story. I adored Anda Cofaru's pictures. They are large and cover the entire page, drawing in the reader. The colors used are vibrant and rich, bringing to life L'il Alexander's equally vibrant and rich tale.

I highly recommend this children's book of adventure and food for thought.
