Last week we were sent this delightful new Children’s Book – Phillipa Knickerbocker Glory and the Ice Cream Castle from the debut Children’s Author Sarahjane Funnel:
It really is as gorgeous as it sounds. Perfect for little princesses it is aimed at children aged 3-6. I must admit though, at 21 months little Rosie is hooked too. This book has quickly become their firm favourite and we have read it every night since receiving it.
The colours are pretty ice cream pastels making it appealing on the eye and it is illustrated beautifully. My girls are hooked. The length of the book is a good one too, they happily sit until the end and get completely absorbed into the story.
So what is it about?
Meet Phillipa. She loves ice cream almost as much as she loves her pet cat Little Miss Whiskers. Little Miss Whiskers is her fluffy white cat with a purple collar and bell. She doesn’t like ice cream at all but loves nothing more than to curl up into a ball and fall fast asleep on the end of Phillipa’s Bed.
One day Phillipa Knickerbocker glory and Little Miss Whiskers embark on a deliciously exciting journey. Through a secret tunnel they enter a magical dreamland where they find the ice cream castle and discover every flavour of ice cream imaginable. The ice cream castle seems like a dream come true but will it be just how Phillipa imagined. With all that ice cream, will she and little Miss Whiskers ever want to go home?
I will leave it up to you to discover the end but take it from me, it is a lovely magical story that will have your little ones captivated until the very end.
My girls cant wait for the next one now.
