REVIEW: ON THE GO WITH ROOTER AND SNUFFLE

On the Go with Rooter & Snuffle is a delightful children’s picture ebook featuring the adventures of two very cute raccoon brothers.The book contains three short stories.
In “Why Our School Stinks,” Rooter’s little brother Snuffle has just started school. Rooter, who used to love school, now hates it. It isn’t fair that Snuffle is getting all the attention! But when Bully Bear starts bothering Snuffle, Rooter comes to the realization that love is more powerful than jealousy.
In “Follow a Star,” set on Christmas Day, the two raccoons venture into the winter forest to bring presents to Grandpa, promising their mother to come home before dark. However, once at Grandpa’s house, they forget about the time while listening to his stories. On their way back home they get lost in the dark woods. How will they find their way back? Could they maybe follow the star just like the shepherds did on the first Christmas?
In “Something is Fishy,” Rooter and Snuffle, all ready with backpacks and gear, go ice fishing for their mother’s birthday dinner. On the frozen pond they meet a friend, Fritter, who joins them in the fun. However, Fritter isn’t happy when the two raccoon brothers get lucky catching all the fish, so he decides to steal… and it’s up to Rooter and Snuffle to make him realize that with a little faith, there’s no need to steal at all.
These fun, heart-warming stories will be enjoyed by children and adults alike. This is a great book for early readers to read by themselves, or for parents to read to youngsters at bedtime. The illustrations are attractive and colorful and well represent the characters and settings in the story. My only complain is that I would have liked to see more of Scott Collier’s illustrations! This ebook is available in flip format, which gives the feeling of a real book as the pages are flipped over with only a touch from your keyboard or the click of a mouse. A fun, delightful way to introduce your young ones to the computer while stimulating their imaginations and improving their reading skills.

ON THE GO WITH ROOTER AND SNUFFLE
This new book with Rooter and Snuffle starts off with a short story about how sometimes going to school with your bothers and sisters isn’t all bad. In the second short story, Rooter and Snuffle learn that sometimes answers to prayers come in funny little ways. The third and final short story shows children how it’s better to share and trust in others.

What I love about the Rooter and Snuffle stories is that you don’t get one story; you get multiple stories about two brothers learning to get along not only with each other, but others in the world around them.

************************************************




The Misadventures of Rooter and Snuffle is a sweet book about two mischievous raccoons. These two characters don't mean to get into trouble, yet trouble seems to find them. Each short chapter gives the reader a chuckle as Rooter and Snuffle learn some important life lessons.

Kevin Collier, illustrator, has captured the raccoon's personalities well. Their comical expressions make this story a delight to read. Rooter and Snuffle are two characters children won't forget easily!

JENNIFER REED, WEE ONES CHILDREN'S MAGAZINE, EDITOR.



******************************************





The Misadventures of Rooter and Snuffle, two raccoon brothers find themselves in tuff and sometimes dangerous situations. Young readers will be drawn into not one, but three different adventures where Rooter and Snuffle must count on each other and themselves to find away out of their sometimes sticking mess. The first short story, The Search, teaches children to think of others and not just themselves, the second story, Rooter's Rule, helps young readers understand that we should treat others how we would like to be treated, and the final story, Danger at River Bend, shows readers that sometimes mothers know what is best for us even if we don't at the time.



I loved this E-book. I would love to see more books based on these two characters. They are fun, lively, and enjoyable for all ages. I think most kids will see a little of themselves in each character.
