Dexter Bexley and the Big Blue Beastie by Joel Stewart

Dexter Bexley and the Big Blue Beastie is an entertaining children’s book that is about a friendship. Joel Stewart is the author and talented illustrator of this children’s story book.

The Big Blue Beastie wants to eat up Dexter because he is bored. Dexter is suitably creative and comes up with a variety of different ideas on how to entertain the Beastie. They get into a variety of very different escapades.

All is fine until Dexter runs out of new ideas on how to entertain the Big Beastie. It is not looking good, until there is a switch in the story and an unexpected turn of events.

I am sure that you will enjoy reading this children’s story book. The book has special qualities to it which are not often found in children’s books. This children’s book is Not Green but you must not hold that against this book.

The Magic Paintbrush | Children’s Book | Moss Green Children’s Books

Monday, August 17th, 2009

The Magic Paintbrush is an exquisite children’s book that was written by Julia Donaldson and illustrated by Joel Stewart.

“He looks around. He calls to Shen.
Come here!” he whispers.” Hush!
We don’t want all the world to know
About this magic brush”

The Magic Paintbrush | Children's Book by Julia Donaldson

“He slips the brush into her hand
And tells her to be sure
Never to paint for wealthy folk
But only for the poor.”

It is for very good reason that the Daily Telegraph commented on the Magic Paintbrush. “The Best Recent Picture Book.” I fully concur with this view.

I have no doubt that this children’s book will become a family favourite. This is one of those children’s books that parents as well as the children will both enjoy reading. The plot will hold your attention and there is a final twist with the Dragon’s tail.

Dragons seem to play a very strong role in Chinese mythology. At the same time Dragons feature in English mythology with Saint George and the Dragon.

This is an excellent children’s book and comes highly recommended. It is evaluated as not green, but does not detract from the fact that it is an excellent children’s book.
