#BookReview: Mr Maloof by Danielle Marietta with Sarah Jane Docker as Illustrator #ChildrensFiction #StayingYoung
Hi everyone. Today I have a book review for you for a children’s book by an author new to me, Danielle Marietta. In the coming weeks, I’ll have a few reviews for children’s fiction, which often struggles to gain feedback. Here’s my review >>>
About the Book:
Every kid is a bit goofy, and Mr. Maloof was no different. Until he grew up and became quite a grump. Then one day a little blue hair appeared right on the top of his head. With his new blue hair and the help of some neighborhood kids, Mr. Maloof is reminded the importance of staying young at heart.
My Review:
A fun, cute story for kids and their caregivers
A quick, fun read about the importance of staying young at heart. The illustrations are wonderful. (See photos below.)
The text rhymes and adds to the entertainment. The age range is stated as 3 — 6, and I would agree with that. A good book for parents/caregivers to read with younger children, and for those a little older to read themselves.

NOTE ON RATINGS: I consider a 3-star rating a positive review. Picky about which books I give 5 stars to, I reserve this highest rating for the stories I find stunning and which moved me.
5 STARS: IT WAS AMAZING! I COULD NOT PUT IT DOWN! — Highly Recommended.
4 STARS: I WOULD PULL AN ALL-NIGHTER — Go read this book.
3 STARS: IT WAS GOOD! — An okay read. Didn’t love it. Didn’t hate it.
2 STARS: I MAY HAVE LIKED A FEW THINGS —Lacking in some areas: writing, characterisation, and/or problematic plot lines.
1 STAR: NOT MY CUP OF TEA —Lots of issues with this book.
I’d love to hear what you think of this review. Thanks for stopping by
