BOOK REVIEW: Dare To Dream by Nikki and Scott Webster.


TITLE: Dare To Dream
AUTHOR: Nikki and Scott Webster
PUBLISHED BY: Nightingale Books / Pegasus

This heart-warming story has a reading age of up to 7 years.

It is the story of a young girl who falls asleep and dreams to do what she would love to do, ballet dance; however this young girl has a very large obstacle holding her back, she is in a wheelchair.

The book is beautifully presented with high quality glossy paper and superb attention to detail; colourful illustrations are on every other page; it is ideal for youngsters who will become absorbed looking at the illustrations whilst the story is being read to them.

The story is told in rhyme and I liked the words and terminology used throughout the book; there were no lengthy words or words which young children might not understand.

The book is a compact size making it manageable for any child with small hands to hold. Plus, it has easy-to-slide pages which make it easier for small hands eagerly wanting to turn over to the next part of the story to handle. Additionally, the front and back covers of the book may be wiped clean if necessary; a bonus practicality for parents reading it to youngsters with sticky fingers.
