Genre: Children's fiction
Summary:
Everyone knows Robin Hood - the hotshot with his bow, but he had a little brother which, perhaps, you didn’t know.
Whilst Robin was the wonder kid with skill and charm and looks, his quiet brother, Ronnie, liked science, maths and books.
Everybody knows about the folklore hero Robin Hood, but this book shines a light on Robin's (up-until-now) unknown little brother, Ronnie, and the important role he played in this classic tale.
Robin and Ronnie couldn't be more different, but they love each other to bits and want each other to succeed. If only they could find a way to combine their talents and become an unstoppable team?...
This book was written to help children embrace their differences and to encourage them to play to their own strengths instead of always comparing themselves to others and feeling inadequate or insecure. It's about sibling love, friendship, rivalry and teamwork.
Review:
Firstly thank you to The Book Network, Majeeko Books and Henry Sowter for having me on this tour and sending me the book.
It's another book I can share with my small one! You know I love it when I get to share my love of books with them( they have started asking if all my bookmail are for them) and the fact that we get to try books we might not have read otherwise makes it even better.
My small one loved this book, it actually worked out well timing-wise because our other bedtime book is The Adventures of Robin Hood so the small one knew who Robin was and instantly connected the two books. They spent the first half going "I like that too!" to Ronnie's list of likes and "That's not nice" about the mean children but where they had a lot of say was about Ronnie building the bow. They loved that he did it for his brother and that it meant Ronnie and Robin were a team, they really loved the illustrations and kept pointing out bits that were in the story before trying to read it themselves.
I loved the story too I think it's really well written and has a good lesson woven through it. Much like my small one I loved the illustrations, I thought they were really cute and fitted the text well. It's got a good rhythm to it when you read it and it just flows really well. I definitely think this is a book that I'll be recommending to small one's school because I think it gets the point that we should celebrate the things we're good at and enjoy across well.
I know this is Henry Sowter's first book and I think it's a brilliant one I hope we have some more coming soon.
