This week’s children’s book review is all about A Forever Home for Tiger by Linda Chapman. The book was published by Nosy Crow and can be purchased on Amazon.
Grace and Jack have a plan – to find purrfect homes for purrfect pets!
Nine-year-old twins Grace and Jack run the Forever Homes rehoming service. Whether it’s a cheeky puppy or a shy kitten, they’re determined to pair every animal with their perfect person – and have lots of adventures along the way!
Tiger is a cute, adventure-seeking kitten. Everyone loves him and wants to take him home! How will the twins decide which home would suit him best?
Fans of Zoe’s Rescue Zoo and Holly Webb will love Forever Homes! Beautifully illustrated throughout by Sophy Williams, Forever Homes is the ideal series for animal-mad readers aged 5+.
Although not the first book in the series, you don’t really need to have read the others. It quickly becomes clear who Grace and Jack are and what they do so you like a quick catch up at the beginning of the book. I sometimes worry about picking up a book in the middle of a series but it’s great that really you can read each of these on their own.
Grace and Jack are big animal lovers and are always looking to make sure animals are with the right owners. At the beginning of the book they meet Tiger, who is an adventurous little kitten who is looking for a forever home. They know that they are the right people to make this happen and that then becomes their mission throughout the book.
The chapters in this book aren’t very long which is great for anyone new to this kind of book. Sometimes we only want to read a chapter or two a day and it means we can easily pick it up again the next day and know we won’t be reading again for a really long time. I think this really helps with keeping younger children interested in the story.
Although a chapter book, there are illustrations throughout which I really loved. We can talk about not only what is happening in the story but also the pictures. Who wouldn’t want to see a picture of Grace, Jack and cute little Tiger!
Now that we’ve read one book in this series I know that we’re going to want more!
