Book Description

Meet Hamilton Troll, a fun-loving friend to the forest creatures and quite a unique little troll.
But Hamilton has a problem; a fear he simply can not control and it is up to Pink Light Sprite to help him with his problem. Follow Hamilton as he takes this exciting journey down the forest path. He will meet new friends that he always will remember and he will in turn help others when they need it. This is a wonderful new childrens story with many more adventures to come! Join Hamilton as he takes you through each adventure, meets new animals, learns new things, overcomes challenges and grows as a troll.

Book Review

I was asked by the writer to review this book and it is one of very few books for children I have agreed to read and review. I found this a delightful tale of a troll who meets a new friend and learns a lesson in how to get over his fears. He is also given practical advice on how to protect his home in a storm and how to transplant a plant carefully. He wanders the woods helping the animals and giving out hugs and giggling, which is rather nice.

The Illustrations are beautifully done and the colours are not garish or too bright, which I have found in a lot of modern children’s books.

However the best bit about this book is the narrative of rhyme which is sophisticated, child oriented and has good rhythm. I can imagine reading this to my granddaughter at quite a pace, and keeping her interest with the words and the fine detail in the pictures. A very good book for children
