[Book Review] The Adventures of Eddie Lightning (Book 1), [Author] Jayne Norman




Full title: The Adventures of Eddie Lightning: The Six Sides to Eddie Lightning & Seven Days in the Life of a Superhero


A lovely children’s book, with a mischievous Jack Russell Terrier dog as a main character. I loved how the dog had special superhero powers, engaging in all sorts of adventures. My daughter fell in love with the story, and I appreciated the educational value of the book.


My thoughts:


You will love Eddie Lightning, as he is always up to something. This is a perfect book for those who love dogs; aside from the adventures of Eddie, which are highly entertaining, children can learn important lessons on being respectful, tolerant and empathic with others. The fact that the story is told from the dog’s perspective is a big plus, adding to the delight of his wonderful adventures.


Eddie is a lovable character, and I applaud the author for giving him a bubbly personality. We had fun reading this book, which delivers lots of laughs. I have a feeling that these dogs are full of silly antics in real life as well, and I found this to be a wonderfully-written book. In the end, kids remember Eddie as the pup who brought joy, fun, and laughter.


Verdict:


We loved this book from beginning to end! Eddie is no ordinary dog, and his adventures were so fun to read. I loved that he had many friends to get into mischief with, and my daughter could not wait to see what would happen next. She loved seeing him chase ducks, but I also think she learned about the meaning of real friendship. Great read!
