LoveReading4Kids Says
A very lucky small child gets an invitation to a special wedding in this positive, life-affirming celebration of love and marriage. The grooms are two big, friendly, very much in love giants; the other wedding guests just as unusual, and it turns out to be every bit as wondrous an occasion as you’d expect.
Each page is a visual treat from the depiction of the ceremony (officiant standing on a stool but still tiny next to the grooms) to the menu which features pickled dragon’s breath with pink lotus fries amongst other options and with flaps to lift, gatefolds pages and surprises galore it makes for an enormously enjoyable read.
Beneath all the magical garnishes too, there’s a heartfelt and clear message: love is just love, whoever it’s between, ‘whether giant or small’. Rachel Plummer’s verse will make repeat readings a pleasure and with so much to explore throughout this is one wedding every young reader will enjoy.
