ABOUT EMER CONLON
This is the fifth book in the Vroom-Town series. In this story, Santa
needs help to deliver the presents on Christmas Eve - as his sleigh is
broken! His Vroom-Town friends come to the rescue BUT BullyDozer and
Terrible Terry have other ideas! Will the children get their presents in
time for Christmas..? You will have to read the book to find out. The
Vroom-Town books make ideal Christmas gifts or stocking fillers for
girls and boys aged 2-7 years!
This book brings the funsize reader on an
enchanting journey that will captivate little minds! This, coupled with
the fact that as a Vroom-Town book it deals with social issues, such as
bullying and the importance of friendship and kindness, means it is an
excellent purchase for all of Santa's friends! With the digital devices
and screentime that children have, a book is a terrific gift that can be
opened again and again and again!
What a fabulous little book this is and just perfect for getting your little ones excited about Christmas time. I read this to my goddaughter last week and unfortunately made her hyper about Christmas but hey ho that's what cool aunts are allowed to do. I'm a little excited about it myself now! At aged 4 years old she totally loved this book and we had quite a bit of discussion about the story, particularly about how Santa's friends the trucks helped him out and how some of the characters were 'a bit mean'.
This is a great story to read little ones and although initially when I first received the book I thought it was quite thick for a children's book, but its actually a very readable story and there are only little chunks of text on the pages which make it readable for little ones and has the most wonderful illustrations. I loved some of the expressions on the trucks and this really brought them to life. A super book that will make a brilliant Christmas present this year and I feel suitable for both boys and girls. The book carries important messages about bullying, being mean and nasty and the joys of friendship and kindness. All very important for young, inquisitive minds. Highly recommended.
There is also an interactive website with puzzles, jigsaws and games. Check it out here www.Vroom-Town.ie
I became interested in writing
children's books probably later than most. Like everything in life,
it's about timing and when my professional career and my imagination
collided, the wonderful world of Vroom-Town was created. I started on
this journey six years ago and now, after a lot of speed-bumps, there
are five books oublished so far in the Vroom-Town series! - I have
another 9 books written and titles for a further 58 - so hopefully this
is the start of something wonderful for children to enjoy for many years
to come.
