A R Gardiner recently shared their lovely
thoughts on Noah, Blue and the Scooter That Flew:
This is such a magical unique story about a
boy who travels the world on his flying scooter to help blue the penguin find
his family. My three year old loves learning about the different places that
Noah visits and asks for this book time and time again. The book is so
beautifully illustrated, it has become a firm favourite for us all.
There is something truly special about a story
that a young child wants to hear again and again. Knowing that A R Gardiner's
three year old keeps returning to Noah, Blue and the Scooter That Flew
is wonderful to hear. I hope each reading brings the same excitement as Noah
sets off on another adventure with Blue the penguin.
I am especially pleased that the journey
around the world has sparked an interest in different places. Children's
curiosity can begin with the simplest things, and a story can open up a whole
world of questions about countries, landmarks and the people who live in them.
It is lovely to imagine Noah's travels encouraging a young reader to discover
more about the world beyond their own doorstep.
At the heart of the adventure is Blue's search
for his family. I wanted this journey to be full of wonder while also giving
children a gentle reminder of how much family and belonging matter. Helping
someone find their way home is a simple idea, but it carries a message of
kindness, friendship and determination that children can understand in their
own way.
The illustrations are another important part
of bringing the adventure to life. Picture books invite children to explore
every page, notice little details and use their imaginations to fill in the
spaces between the words. Knowing that the artwork has helped make this book a
favourite for the whole family is particularly rewarding.
I also love hearing that the story has become
something the family enjoys together. Repeated readings can create familiar
rituals, with children anticipating their favourite moments and finding new
details as they grow. A book that stays on the family bookshelf and continues
to be requested has a special place in a child's reading journey.
Thank you, A R Gardiner, for sharing such a
heartwarming review. I am delighted that Noah and Blue's adventure has captured
your child's imagination and become a firm favourite in your home. I hope every
return to the story brings another little discovery, plenty of smiles and a
renewed sense of adventure.
