Book Review: Peter Nimble and His Fantastic Eyes

Peter Nimble and His Fantastic Eyes by Jonathan Auxier

Now, bear in mind as you start to read this review that this is not a complete book review, but rather an urging for you to give this book a read ASAP. We are 5 chapters in to this book in about 4 bedtime reading sessions and we are hooked. ALL 6 of us are hooked and that is a HARD thing to do in a large family!

The way that Jonathan Auxier writes is captivating, engaging and very visual. It’s just enough different from other authors we’ve read to engage our brains + make us not want to put the book down. We’ve even been heading up to bed a little early so we can read more!

We are a reading family, books are just a normal part of our day and we read a variety of genres. For the last few years most of our bedtime family reading has been picture books or something from the “who was/what was” series, but I have to say that I am really enjoying this shift towards chapter books. I think this will become a treasured memory in our home and our kid’s childhood.
