Belle & Boo and the Birthday Surprise by Mandy Sutcliffe



This is a 32-page picture book yet across those 32 pages the author is able to express so much. She is able to bring across how the two title characters love each other very much.

The story is good too. Belle is preparing a birthday surprise for a surprise birthday recipient. She gets Boo to help and they help each other to make cards and cake and all that jazz, before Boo starts floating away thanks to a birthday balloon. Belle then reveals that the surprise was that it was Boo's birthday as she tries to rescue him as he floats up high.

The pictures are good too with nice clean lines and the girl and rabbit drawn to look realistic, and the pictures being set up nicely from an artistic point of view. 

So for a picture book it is worth checking out, and maybe some of the other books in the series too if they meet the same high standards of this one.

(I got this book for free to review through Amazon Vine. It is listed here.)
