A Surprisingly Fluffy Bird, kindle ebook edition

A surprisingly Fluffy Bird ist eine wunderbare, spannende Geschichte über einen Vogel, der auf See die Orientierung verliert und auf einem ihm fremden Land strandet. Dort lernt Algy viele neue Leute kennen, die ihm nicht immer alle wohl gesonnen sind. An diesem neunen Ort findet Algy seine letztlich neue Freunde und eine für ihn sehr reizvolle Aufgabe.

Das Buch gibt es derzeit (leider) nur auf Englisch, aber e gibt online eine Hilfe, um die schwierigen Wörter zu verstehen. Das Buch ist spannend und hat wundervolle Ideen und Umsetzungen. Es ist gedacht für Kinder ab 7 aber auch für ältere sehr reizvoll, so dass auch 10jährige und ältere ihr Englisch daran üben und verbessern können.

Auch für Erwachsene hat das Buch seinen Reiz und zeigt, dass man nicht immer mit dem Kopf durch doe Wand muss und auch mal seitwärts schauen sollte.

Which in English reads more or less:

A surprisingly Fluffy Bird is a wonderful, exciting story about a bird that loses its bearings at sea and is stranded on a foreign land. There Algy meets many new people, who are not always well-disposed towards him. In this new place, Algy ultimately finds his new friends and a very appealing task for him.

The book is currently (unfortunately) only available in English, but there is help online to understand the difficult words. The book is exciting and has wonderful ideas and implementations. It is intended for children from 7 but is also very appealing for older children, so that 10-year-olds and older can also practice and improve their English on it.

The book also has its appeal for adults and shows that you don't always have to put your head through the wall and should also look sideways from time to time.

A Surprisingly Fluffy Bird, kindle ebook edition

I downloaded this book to read to my five year old as a bedtime story and it didn't disappoint.

The story is about a lost fluffy little bird called Algy and his quest to find out where he is and how to get home, making new friends with funny and interesting characters along the way as his adventure unfolds.

My rough and tumble boy who loves his teddy bears was delighted by this story and for the first time every wanted to go up to bed every night to hear another chapter of Algy's story. My boy wanted to give the book 100 starts, but had to settle with 5!

As an adult reading this book, I found it well written with lovely descriptions of the mystery island Algy is lost on.

We hope there is another adventure to follow this.

A Surprisingly Fluffy Bird, hardback edition

I bought 2 copies of this for my nieces and nephews, aged 2-8. I read it myself and it is a fantastic read, I myself, would have thoroughly enjoyed this as a child.

Algy meets lots of characters through this story, and it ends differently to what you expect. Fabulous illustrations, and the hardback version would look beautiful on any childs book shelf.

I'm looking forward to more future adventures of this bird. :)

A Surprisingly Fluffy Bird, kindle ebook edition

Here's a new book for children; perfect for the holidays. It is exciting, a little bit frightening, funny and finally happy. There is a splendid illustration at the beginning of each chapter, depicting what is happening or indicating what is coming next. And at the end the reader wants to know when the next book in the series will be published.
