What I love about Patt Hatt’s books for children is how he always manages to leave a valuable lesson, told cleverly in rhyme and features a new illustrator. Every book, therefore, comes as a new “experience” for young readers.In ‘the Cosmic League: Rise of the Allies’, we read about superheroes whose adventures are told in a tongue-in-cheek way, almost something as similar to Sponge Bob Square pants, for example. The book features Tarsier Man and his nemesis, Catality. Always squabbling over the smallest issue, they find themselves facing off with a seemingly unbeatable foe: Goliath the Tyrant. Individually, as another hero named Zombie Man helps them realize it, they could never beat goliath. But together, as three allies, they could.The book teaches the value of unity and friendship, and for young minds encountering this nugget of wisdom, the lesson could have a life-long effect in shaping our kids’ value systems. What’s more, there’s the colourful, engaging illustrations that delight kids, as well as the rhymes that are just so great to read aloud. Another Patt Hatt book makin a five-star home-run. Highly recommended!
