I
would like to thank NetGalley and NorthSouth Books for providing me a copy
of this book in exchange for an honest review.
I have been looking for some
interesting children’s books to read for 2019.
So, I went to NetGalley to seek out some children’s books and I found Marcus Pfister’s children’s book “Who Stole the
Hazelnuts?”
And man, was it such a hilarious read!
Everything in the forest was nice and quiet until a
piercing scream is heard throughout the forest.
The scream belongs to the squirrel and it turns out that his hazelnuts
were stolen! So, the squirrel went
around the forest trying to find the true culprit of this crime!
Will the squirrel find his hazelnuts?
Read this book to find out!
I have never read any of Marcus Pfister’s books
before, especially the “Rainbow Fish” series (even though I have seen
the TV series). So, this was the first
book that I had read by him and I was pretty impressed by this book! Marcus Pfister has done an excellent
job at both writing and illustrating this book as the story is both hilarious
and mysterious at the same time. I was
wondering throughout the whole book about who actually stole the squirrel’s
hazelnuts and I was quite surprised by the ending! I also loved Marcus Pfister’s artwork
as it is both gorgeous and hilarious to look at as the squirrel’s facial
expressions are a bit exaggerated whenever he looks so surprised.
The only slight problem that I have with this book was
that the squirrel started accusing his forest friends a little too easily. I would have thought that he would have given
more thought to the situation instead of just accusing his friends without any
evidence.
Overall, “Who Stole the Hazelnuts?” was a truly
hilarious and mysterious book that children who love reading about mysteries
with a hilarious twist will read over and over again! I would recommend this book to children ages
four and up since there is nothing inappropriate in this book, unless you find
the squirrel’s accusations against the other animals a little troubling.
