## Description

Mr Birdsnest and the House Next Door (Little Gems): (New Second Edition) : Donaldson, Julia, Shaw, Hannah: desertcart.co.uk: Books

Review: A good book to bridge that 'gap' - A lovely story that starts with a house move, gets a bit scary and then goes on to end happily ever after, as stories are supposed to. The best thing about this book is that it suits children who are ready to make the transition between fully illustrated books and 'real' books. There aren't many books that bridge the gap this well. The book has four chapters with enough grey-scale illustrations to satisfy children who are used to pictures on every page. It's ideal for reading chapter by chapter but can be read in a single sitting. While the story is an interesting one, the language is simple. I first bought a copy for a grandson who speaks Italian most of the time and he loved the book: it saved me having to simplify the language and explain or skip culture-specific references. The second copy was for a younger English-speaking grandchild. Based on my experience I'd say the book was suitable for four to six year olds, male and female.
Review: The Little Gems editions are brilliant little books. - This is about the "Little Gems" edition. These books are small in size, and short. This is a good thing - it will encourage reluctant readers. They don't see a huge challenge. They get a fun book that they can tackle. The text is printed in a nice clear font, with single-story letters. The text is in almost black on an off-white page. This means there's a good contrast. Not too much, not too little. The illustrations are lovely. Every page is illustrated. And the story itself is also really nice. My child enjoyed this book, and I'm going to buy a bunch of other books from this auther and from the Little Gems editions.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Early reader
*by K***N on 24 March 2013*

Suitable for a young reader, quite funny storyline, frequent and interesting illustrations- read it to my 6 year old son who enjoyed it, and I will be getting him to read it back to me soon. It was shorter than I expected- only 2 bedtimes worth, but then if you were wanting a young child to read it you don't want it to be over long and thus daunting.
