My Review
The Adventures of Billy Bog Brush is a cute children's picture book about a kid named Billy Bog Brush
(I had to Google bog brush to see what, exactly, it was, and I was not disappointed. lol) who is small
and can fit through a doggy door. Billy is also very brave. While left alone one day, he decides to go
out and about. But then he discovers a woman locked out of her house, which also happens to be on
fire, and rushes to try and save the day. Does he? You'll have to read it and find out.

I found Billy Bog Brush to be a fun character that kids could look up to. He teaches that no matter
how small, you can still be brave and helpful towards others much bigger than you. I think that's a
good lesson for kids to learn. A lot of kids think, "Oh, I'm too small to matter much," but that's not
true. I think having them see how heroic Billy Bog Brush is can be a good thing.

I enjoyed reading the story, and I thought the illustrations were nice.
I'd recommend this book to parents and kids who enjoy stories about everyday heroes.
It'll be interesting to see what other adventures Billy Bog Brush ends up having.

His Jazzy, this is Tim, co-author and illustrator for Billy Bog Brush. Thanks for the lovely review you've given the book, it's very encouraging. However, there seems to be a technical problem! In Microsoft Edge, the review looks fine, but on Chrome and Android, the text goes streaming off the right hand edge - it doesn't word-wrap. I don't know if you can get anyone to do something about this?
ReplyDeleteHi Tim. I'm glad you liked the review. I did fix the word-wrap issue, so hopefully everything looks okay now. Thank you! :)
DeletePlease try not to spam posts with the same comments over and over again. Authors like seeing thoughtful comments about their books, not the same old, "I like the cover" or "sounds good" comments. While that is nice, putting some real thought and effort in is appreciated. Thank you.
