My Review:
The story is about a place where Uthan goes on a vacation and enjoys the experience. Of course, any kid would be excited to see turtles and colorful fish snorkeling in a sea.
Uthan is also excited to swim with turtles and to touch them.
The illustrations are attractive and the book cover is colorful. My kids loved the story. The narration is also interesting to kids.
I would recommend this book to all children below 8 years.
My Rating: 5/5
PS: I have received this book from the author in exchange for a review and this is my honest opinion on the book.

childhood adversity & started modelling age 16 for modelling agency MMA in
Manchester. She then became a professional dancer in 1992 after being spotted

was so successful she ended up staying in Monte Carlo for 6 years we’re she
made lifelong friendships & met influential people that would transform the
rest of her life including the Prince of Monaco & the late Barry White who
was a mentor & inspiration to her ‘who said patience is not a virtue...it
is a power’.
She soon
ventured back to England in 1997 to work with choreographer Alan Ardin but was
forced to retire early from professional dancing due to serious injury.
Despite this
career setback Uthania Jackson was keen to use her passion for & her
in-depth knowledge of dance, hospitality & etiquette training further,
chancing it in the role of trainee manager for a private gentlemen’s club. She

instalment of a series of novels that follow her first & only miracle 5
year old son that she had aged 42; Uthan, as he encounters & explores the
magic of the world around him.
Uthania was
inspired to write these novels after she accidentally stumbled on Video selfies
& diaries that her son had recorded while they were away on holiday
together in the caribbean on her IPad.
In the books she
recalls the fond memories they created & his pure childlike excitement for
every adventure & moment they shared.
Join her &

Until next time,
I was wondering if you ever considered changing the layout of your site?
ReplyDeleteIts very well written; I love what youve got to say. But maybe
you could a little more in the way of content so people could connect with
it better. Youve got an awful lot of text for only
having 1 or 2 images. Maybe you could space it out better?
