The Many Adventures of Cuddles: Tobey, Pandora, and Cuddles by Marcel Ray Duriez is a delightful storybook for children. Once upon a time, in the boondocks of a mysterious neighborhood, lived three squirrels: Tobey, Pandora, and Cuddles. They live together in a home under the nut tree. Cuddles is the baby in the family and is going to start school in the fall, which is making her nervous and anxious. Readers see Cuddles making new friends, riding on her new bike, going to an amusement park, and doing many different things. Though she feels sad leaving her mom and dad while going to school, Cuddles learns a lot of new things while she is at school. Kids will enjoy this journey along with Cuddles, and the author helps young readers develop an interest in reading through this charming story.
The
book is made more appealing and captivating by the illustrations that
breathe life and movement into the characters and scenes. The
illustrations complement the author's words beautifully and help
children to get into the reading habit. It's a good book that can be
used for bedtime storytelling and it's also good for read-aloud sessions
in classrooms and school libraries. All the characters in the story
have their own personality and they are made more effective and palpable
to readers with the help of the illustrations. Cuddles, her parents,
and friends will pull readers into the story, which will definitely
encourage kids to read more books.
