The King of Kazam by Jen Hyatt and Cassandra Harrison - #bookreview #readalong #blogtour

 


The King of Kazam had a castle for life,

Two trendy kids, and a celebrity wife,

All of it run by a right royal team

Who kept ducks in a row and underwear clean...

***

The Blurb

A modern fairy tale in which two children unite a community to topple a greedy king.

Join Kandy and Kane as they bring down their greedy dad, the King of Kazam, with a river of poo.


My Review

I read this book for my first ever read along blog tour. I chose this book to dip my toe into the read along type of blog post as all the proceeds from the sale of the book are being donated to the charity The Trussell TrustThey are an anti-poverty charity and community of food banks. They work together to ensure no one in the UK needs a food bank to survive, while providing food and practical support to people left without enough money to live on. 

That in itself is a good enough reason to buy your little ones a copy of this book. However, it is also an excellent read that children will enjoy.

It is all written in rhyme and is a lovely story of a greedy king whose children Kandy and Kane set out to teach him a lesson. With all of their names beginning with K, and his wife being a celebrity it did put me in mind of the Kardashian's.

This is a humorous book and children will delight in the frequent mentions of poo and wee throughout the story. My boys would have found this hilarious when they were young.

The colourful illustrations by Cassandra Harrison are a delight. Both eye catching and supportive of the text.

I highly recommend this for the little ones in your life.
