This is the book where I’ve memorised certain lines, think about them to myself and random points during the day, and giggle. There are three stories in this collection that depict three different adventures of Fox and Chick, and I love them all. Imagine my surprise when I loved every single story in this book.
So I didn’t expect to think too highly of this. I also don’t typically like short stories because I want to be sucked into a fully fleshed out novel. I generally don’t like comics or graphic novels (except for the Baby-Sitters Club graphic novels) because I never know whether I should read the text first or look at the pictures, and I can’t do both at once. I admit, when I first looked at the book, I had my doubts. So this isn’t a book for Tilly just yet (it’s really more suited to the 5–8 crowd), but it’s my favourite children’s book of the year so far so it’s getting a review here. Jen reviews The Quiet Boat Ride Sometimes we read at the dinner table. Mummy says that this is a book for when I’m older BUT she also says I’m a big girl now. The book doesn’t rhyme but the stories have a good amount of words, so that is a plus. There’s an animal that I think looks like a woof but Mummy says is a fox, and one that looks a bit like a duck (I know lots of ducks because I have lots of duck books) but Mummy says is a chick. Mummy and Daddy both laugh a lot and seem to really like it but I don’t get it. Baby librarian Tilly and her mum Jen review the early reader Fox and Chick: The Quiet Boat Ride and Other Stories.
