Alright, it’s my first holiday review of the year! I kid, I kid. Well, sort of anyway. But if you are looking to find a fantastic series to buy for your child, I had the chance to read Ronaldo: The Phantom Carrot Snatcher and it’s so charming and adorable with an incredible message for kids.
About the Book:
Prepare to laugh out loud at this fun winter tale of friendship, sledging and flying!
Ronaldo is the top cadet at Flying Academy. He is on course to win the coveted Golden Snowflake medal and break the speed record. After the first of three speed tests, he discovers his carrots have been stolen. Ronaldo and best friend, Rudi, are determined to catch the thief. However, Ronaldo doesn’t have far to look. The culprit is hiding outside his house … and it’ a creature feared by every reindeer – a wolf!
Will Ronaldo discover the true meaning of friendship or will he succumb to ambition and become the youngest flyer ever to break the speed record?
My Review:
What a charming book! I loved the humor and personality in this book. While it’s the second in the series, I didn’t feel disconnected at all from the story. I also really liked the moral lesson in the story about friendship and ambition. It’s such a touching one for kids – and adults who are kids at heart. The artwork in the book is black and white, but that didn’t distract from the book at all. This story just made me feel like I was there and part of this world.
I thoroughly enjoyed this book and would absolutely recommend it!
