Amazon.ca:Customer reviews: Nelly Pig´s Funny Birthday Surprise: Children's Picture Book For Kids Ages 2-5 (Bedtime Stories 5)

Reviewed in Canada 🇨🇦 on March 18, 2021

A fun, silly story about animals on a farm, which probably would intrigue many children who love animals and silliness. The story is beautifully illustrated which would probably be the biggest interest for most children. I found it, as an adult, a little hard to keep track of all the characters as there are so many for a children's read. The silliness will appeal to younger children 3-4, but it is a little long for children younger, and perhaps to silly for children older.

Nelly the pig and Carlos the duck live on the farm. Nelly is lazy and Carlos is an organizer.

When they have an argument Carlos decides to leave for a vacation and let Nelly handle everything while he is gone.

To show they care, Nelly and the other animals get together to make Carlos a cake for this birthday. But it does not go as planned and hilarity ensues.

The story is short and sweet and very easy to read. Children will enjoy the bright colourful pictures and the basic storyline.

I would recommend this book for young children.

I voluntarily read an Advanced Reader Copy of this book.

I did not receive any type of compensation for reading & reviewing this book. While I receive free books from publishers & authors, I am under no obligation to write a positive review. Only an honest one.

A very awesome book cover, fabulous hand drawn colored pictures, great font & writing style. A very well written children’s book. It was very easy for me to read/follow from start/finish & never a dull moment. There were no grammar/typo errors, nor any repetitive or out of line sequence sentences. Lots of exciting scenarios, with several twists/turns & a great set of unique characters to keep track of. This could also make another great children’s movie, an animated cartoon, or better yet a mini TV series. There is no doubt in my mind this is a very easy rating of 5 stars.

After an disagreement with Carlos the Duck, the organizer of the farm, 'Nelly Pig's Funny Birthday Surprise' blows up in the oven. The story is silly and the preschools I read it thought it was very funny. The illustrations are top notch and fit with the storyline. 'Nelly Pig's Funny Birthday Surprise' is a good book to talk to preschoolers about imagination and pretend play plus friendship and disagreements and how they make you feel.

This is a lovely children's book with a good storyline. The illustrations are really cute and I liked the characters. However at times the speech sleeps a little. Could do with a minor tweak to make this book perfect.

Just Okay

It's Carlos's the duck's birthday and Nelly the pig is feeling bad that Carlos is away. She thinks she insulted Carlos and caused him to "go on holiday". Nelly plans a birthday party to make things up to him.

I can honestly say that this book is just "okay". The writing and dialogue is stilted and lacks interest, in my opinion. Having the text and illustrations on separate pages makes the story much more difficult to follow. It would have been easier and more enjoyable if readers could follow the story while seeing the illustrations at the same time.

I have a difficult time believing that this book will hold the interest of most children. The illustrations are cute, however. Apologies to the author, but I think this book could have been better.
