Dandy the Highway Lion by Stephanie Sorrell

You can buy this fabulous book from all booksellers, online and of course using any independent local bookshop.ĭ.M Mullan is a world-travelled author from County Derry, Northern Ireland. It is a perfect gift for children but will also be a fabulous addition to primary school libraries and classrooms.Ī huge thank you to the publishers, Tiny Tree Children’s Books, for sending me a copy of D.M Mullan’s Curious Tales: Hector to read and review on my blog. This is a perfect book for fans of Dr Seuss and Roald Dahl and I cannot wait to read the next instalment in the series. I think this book will show how having friends around really benefits the mental health and wellbeing of young children – although I know lockdown couldn’t be helped… I do wonder if this book will help young children who may have felt lonely throughout lockdown and missed their friends.

Accompanied with quirky illustrations by Kirsteen Harris-Jones which tell their own story, Hector will encourage children that if they put their mind to it they could also be the next fabulous inventor, anything is possible if you put your mind to it. This is the first instalment in the series of D.M Mullan’s Curious Tales and is a fabulous and hilarious story about young Hector who is convinced he doesn’t need help from anyone, well, until he realises something has gone missing….įull of wonderful vocabulary and rhyming lines this book covers themes about the benefits of friendship but told in a unique and fun way. ‘Hector van Groat, needs no-one but Hector, because he is a genius, a crazy inventor!’ This little genius lives in an upside-down boat, and he grunts from his hill like a grumpy old goat. If something is missing, and you’re feeling blue, young could learn from Hector, who feels this way too. If you are having trouble finding the link to add a new thread, try this.
