Review

I won't review this book as a reviewer only, but also as a mother. I read this book to my son and he loved it. The story is about a small house named ‘Noah’ who is destined to be demolished. But he has a friend - a small boy named Andrew. Andrew tries his best to save the house, but it was not easy. He requests the tractor, the driver of the tractor and even the Mayor. But none of them could help him out. The Mayor clearly says that the house can only be saved, if it serves a purpose. With Andrew be able to save the little house?

Snippet

In a little land, in a rich

neighbourhood

a very old house for ages there stood.

And on a small door a message was 

posted:

“Soon to be demolished!” It boasted.

The call the house Noah, that’s how it’s

 known,

it is old, and tired, and so very alone.

“What can I do? I’m very afraid!

Maybe somebody will come to my aid?”

Reasoning

The whole story has been told in the form of a poem. Though the poetry has been beautifully done, at some places it has been forced. But on the whole, it is something definitely any child will enjoy. The most attractive part of this book is the illustrations and also the morality of the story - how even a small child, if determined enough, can do anything they set their minds to.

Would I recommend this book to my readers: Definitely. There is a lot to learn from this book for any kid in the age range of 3 to 7 years. I read this book in my Kindle and both the writing and the illustrations had perfect clarity.

Meet The Author

I always wanted to write children's books, but I didn't have the courage, time or right frame of mind. After I completed my first degree in Computer Engineering, I found myself creating children's software; teaching private lessons in all areas; and teaching children to swim, in both the first and second levels. As a result of working with kids, the connection to writing a book for children was a natural progression and I found myself writing many different stories about almost everything, and always left them in the desk drawer. When an idea pops into my head I ask these questions: Will a child want to read this book? Will a parent want to read this book to or with their child? Would this book make a parent or a child feel something? Is there something visual here that will hold the child's interest? Will a child see things in a different way after reading the book? If the answer to these questions is yes, then I know I'm on the right track.
