Monster Max: This Time it’s Sirius

 


Monster Max: This Time it’s Sirius by Robin Bennett- Childrens (6-8 years)

Max has a special skill- he can turn himself into a monster just by burping. Where he comes from, this isn't unusual however he sometimes does this by mistake which can land him in hot water and adventures. When he and his best friend find a pack of wolves from Max’s home country are moving towards them, they want to keep them out. However Max has found an orphaned cub that he wants to keep.

I would recommend a hard copy as the version I received of this was in e-format and unfortunately not the easiest to read as the pictures were segregated- however-looking at what the others in the series are like and from images- this looks like a colourful read with a good story which will stretch both the imaginations and the vocabulary of most 6-8 year olds. There are colourful illustrations which will help keep the flow and for younger ones what is happening in the plot.  It’s an easy writing style, one to fire the curiosity of the reader, whether child or adult. An imaginative story well told which I feel children will find delightful.
