Don't Ever Look Behind Door 32Don't Ever Look Behind Door 32 by B.C.R. Fegan
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Amazon

About the Book:

The magical Hotel of Hoo is a mysterious place with some very unusual occupants. As our guests explore the strange hotel, they are invited to experience everything it has to offer with just one warning… don’t ever look behind door 32.

This imaginative picture book aims to take children beyond the first ten cardinal numbers, and introduces them to the patterns of counting in a fun and accessible way. With rooms to explore and unique objects to count, children will enjoy lingering on each page as they make their way closer to the forbidden door.

My Review:

Don’t Ever Look Behind Door 32 is a cute picture book that takes place in the Magical Hotel of Hoo. The book features several teaching points for children. At the Magical Hotel of Hoo, host Mr. Nicholas Hoo, takes a couple of guests through a list of rooms. Some feature guests, others feature residents.

As Mr. Hoo goes from room to room, children reading the story will learn to count past 10. Young readers will also view vibrant and interesting pictures of the hotel and its inhabitants. Children will also see and being to understand how important it is to listen to and follow directions – like not looking behind Door 32. Young readers will also enjoy the easy words and rhyming pattern of the story.

A must read for beginners.

I was given a copy of this book to read.

Meet the Author:



BCR Fegan is an award-winning author who has written a number of fairy tales and fantasies for children and young adults.

Raised on a small hobby farm only minutes from some of Australia’s greatest beaches, Fegan grew up inspired by the power of natures ambience. From the intensity of the frequent summer storms, to the overwhelming serenity of a lonely beach in the early hours of the morning. His ravenous appetite for both reading and writing soon saw him drawing on the transformational influence of the world around him to craft short stories, poems and picture books

As time wore on, Fegan also found inspiration in the magic and depth of authors and compositors like Hans Christian Andersen, the Brothers Grimm and Charles Perrault. He was mesmerised by the potency of small but beautiful phrases that were carefully carved from the minds of Samuel Taylor Coleridge, Alfred Lord Tennyson and Robert Frost. He grew to appreciate the worlds meticulously created by David Eddings, JRR Tolkien and CS Lewis.

Eventually, he began to forge his own complete works. Weaving his own magic, piecing together his own phrases and crafting his own worlds. Agonising over plots that would inspire, characters that would be loved and circumstances that would delight. In time, his efforts saw a number of children’s books and young adult fiction produced. Through the efforts of TaleBlade Press, these works are now being published with that same careful dedication.
