[Book Review] The Adventures of Eddie Lightning (Book 2), [Author] Jayne Norman




Full title: The Adventures of Eddie Lightning: Shenanigans in the Snow


The adventures of Eddie Lightning continue, this time in the snow! The short picture book is the second of the series, and just as wonderful as the first. Children are invited to accompany the lovable character having a fun day in the snow. There will be plenty of escapades to bring laughter on their faces!


My thoughts:


I read this book to my daughter, who was already in love with Eddie Lightning. She adores the canine superhero, finding his adventures in the snow to be fun. After all, who wouldn’t love a story about a dog with superhero powers, who also has a bubbly personality?


In this story, Eddie Lightning engages in hilarious adventures together with his friends. I found this book to be well-written, with wonderful illustrations. It is the perfect choice for young children; like it happened with my daughter, I am sure they will want to re-read it.


What a fun idea to give Eddie a “superhero nose”, one that he can use to sniff wildlife, identifying which scent belongs to which animals. I also liked how he wore a mask for different occasions – the green one is for exploring the outdoors, which goes to prove how much Eddie cares about the environment.


Verdict:


A beautiful picture book for young children. Eddie is a great character, we had already loved him from the first book of the series. With a lot of action and fun adventures, it will certainly keep your little one entertained. As an adult, I bet you will find yourself smiling at the fun words the author has added throughout the book, such as “pMail” or “everypawdy”. A fun read!
