The Kingdom of the Deep is book 13 in the Ramion collection. Don’t let this put you off buying it though. The book very much stands on its own, and no prior knowledge of earlier adventures is necessary.
Chopsy Baby loves this book. We like that it has an illustration and the name of each character at the start of the book giving young readers a visual guide.
Aimed at children aged five years and above, the book has a full page of text with a beautiful full page illustration opposite.
The story is a fun, modern fantasy adventure tale. A wicked witch Griselda is persuaded to take a holiday by her magical skull. Despite his recommendations of the South of France, the witch chooses to visit her cousin, and cause mayhem in the holiday plans of three nemesis brothers.
The writing is simple, humorous and non-threatening. Some adults still struggle with their own literacy and this book would suit both them and their child with its simple blend of fantasy and contemporary ideas.
If your child won’t put down their pre-school books, struggle with their reading or just want to try out an exciting adventure packed with witches, mermaids, and journeys into the deep and unknown, then this is the book to buy.
