Three lovely short stories, written by Stacy Juba, and illustrated by her father Lawrence Drumtra. Originally written and illustrated for family and friends, by publishing these books in Ebook format, a far greater audience can be reached!The stories are suitable for very young children, and the illustrations, are delightfully simple and seemingly nave, the Kindle does of course render them all black and white, but I think they still make a delightful read for any parent or caregiver and a young child, this short collection of books shows how versatile the Kindle can be.My own personal favourite is story is Sticker Shoes - Jenny after accidentally getting stickers on her shoes decides to decorate them with stickers, only to find out that the stickers quickly fall off and get dirty, her ingenious solution is charming and fun!The other two stories The Flag Keeper, and Victoria Rose and the Big Bad Noise, are equally as charming and fun to read - It should be noted however that The Flag Keeper is very much aimed at an American audience, and those of us in the UK, who do not as a rule regularly fly flags (apart from this year of course when many of us have gone slightly Olympics mad!) or have the same kind of affinity to our flag will not really understand the point of the story, this should not however detract from a well written and illustrated picture book!KatieRazberry Juice
