Review: 4 1/2 out of 5 stars

We were able to grab a kindle copy of Lily Lemon Blossom Welcome to Lily’s Room for free from Amazon Australia.

There is no real storyline in this book, it is more of an introduction to Lily and her possessions, although materialistic it is something my daughter absolutely loved to look at and explore. She especially loved her white cat named Josephine, her beautiful clean room and the wonderful dolls house.

The illustrations were vibrant, detailed and absolutely gorgeous; it is attractive to a young reader. At the end of the book, a list of other titles in the series was listed and my daughter instantly requested them. 

The text was easy for her to read and not overwhelming or overly difficult, she needed help with a few words but otherwise it was quite simplistic. It also rhymed which is always popular with Miss 7.

Miss 7’s final comment: My favourite part was when Josephine was hiding in the dolls house, she seems like a cheeky cat. The clown looked scary and I loved all of the colourful pages.

For a glimpse into the illustrations, there are some samples on Barbara Miller's beautiful website.
