Hodder Children's Books Bumble and Snug and the Angry Pirates: 1

A great story and message. My boys (6 and 7) loved it and are currently working on drawing their own bugbops! Can’t wait for more adventures

First saw a book in the series in Sainsbury’s and my daughter was drawn to the cute art style drawings on the front of the book. After looking at a few pages she loved it and we bought it. She’s 5yo and these books have really encouraged her to start reading this summer. She has loved the fun stories, the artwork pictures, and the relationship between bumble and snug. These are great little books for beginners at reading, as it has lovely pictures as well. The author makes the stories very fun, interesting, but also relevant to kids and their feelings. As a parent I have also enjoyed reading these books to my daughter and I really hope the author continues to do more books in the near future. Maybe even a show on tv ☺️

I brought this book to read to my 5 year old who is just starting to read. He loves the bright colours, antics of the cheeky characters and the fun adventure. Lots of subtle hints around sharing, empathy and problem solving. There is a 'how to draw' at the end which we'll do together as an activity too. Highly recommend.

We have the second book in this series. My daughter loved it so much we had to buy the first.This graphic novel / cartoon strip is sovibrant, colourful and eye-catching. It's perfect for reluctant readers or children who find the move to chapter books to daunting.So funny and entertaining would highly recommend

I give Bumble & Snug 1 million stars without hesitation. Bright, inviting comic-book pages with language and layout aimed perfectly at its 5-7 year target group. Excitable Bumble and sensible Snug set off for a pleasant picnic, or so they expect. Full of humour and pathos, a little jeopardy, a little bit more jeopardy (we're going to be fed to a shark that is fed to a whale that is fed to a bigger whale...) and then a satisfying denouement involving... well, that would be a spoiler! And of course an emergency survival kit should always contain glitter and a kazoo. I loved it, and I haven't even shared it with my grandson yet.
