REVIEWS
“Highly recommended…I loved this graphic novel and look forward to reading more of Bug and Daisy’s adventures in the next in the series, Cake-tastrophy.”

“What follows next is a series of LOL events as solutions lead to problems which lead to solutions which lead to… and which will engage young, independent readers who are able to manage the graphic novel format in its simplest form, while, at the same time, engaging with both books and reading just like their older siblings and peers.
The graphic novel format is ideal for portraying this hilarious story because the text itself is quite sparse, and so young readers have to actively engage with the illustrations to carry the story forward, making use of their predictive and interpretative skills that are essential to being an independent reader capable of managing more complex plots.”

“Honestly, this is a joyful little romp that younger readers will giggle and hoot over … give this one an excitable 5 🍓🍓🍓🍓🍓 rating for readers from around 3 years upwards, especially appropriate for your newly independent readers.”
