Reviews
""I thought this book was great. I love the idea that kids can continue to read about Roo as they get older. I particularly liked the Dedication, the Field Guide Cards, the inclusion of characters we have already met, the rap song, ending the chapters with red ribbons, Roo's Garden Hunt, and meeting the real Roo. This book was funny, had a good message, and gave even more personality to the different animals we have met.""
Author Information
Jane Stanley is a self-published author and illustrator of children's books, bringing stories to life with gentle rhymes, engaging characters, and beautiful watercolour illustrations. Inspired by her beloved cockapoo, Roo, she has created The World of Roo, a collection of books designed to support early learning through four sub-series: Roo's Garden - Seasonal visitors to Roo's Garden learning life lessons and making friends. Roo's First Rhymes - introducing readers to colours, numbers, and first words through playful rhymes and beautiful illustrations. Roo's Big Adventures - heart-warming tales filled with discovery, friendship, and fun. Roo's Rainbow Adventures - interactive learning through puzzles, colouring and creative play. When she's not writing or illustrating, she enjoys exploring the outdoors with Roo, dressmaking, and finding inspiration in her surroundings and the changing seasons. She is based in the Midlands, UK, where the beauty of the countryside often finds its way into her stories. ""Living on the edge of a fantastic woodland country park, Roo and I love exploring the great outdoors, finding inspiration in every corner. With a passion for storytelling and a deep love for animals, I hope to continue creating delightful stories that captivate children of all ages. When I'm not writing, I love spending time with family, indulging in my love for nature, and, of course, sharing snacks with Roo (except for chocolate, I don't share chocolate, so don't ask.): -)""
