Review: Hester's Blister


Hester's Blister
Written by Chris Gurney
Illustrated by Sarah Nelisiwe Anderson

Publication date: 2010
Publisher: Scholastic
ISBN: 978-1-86943-930-0

Summary/Back cover:
"OUCH!" said Hester Lister,
for she had a nasty blister,
right on the tippy of her tongue...


Hester asks everyone to help her find a remedy for her pesky blister problem, but her journey has an unexpected result!

Review:

Wow what a fantastic story about a common blister of all things!  Hester is in search of a remedy for a blister which takes her on a journey to seek a variety of advice which she graciously accepts, great rhyming with a neat twist at the end.

To my surprise my 3 year old son chose this book to read before a book about dragons and he said "read it again mum" which I did because I loved it too!   A great endorsement from a 3 year old who can quickly lose interest but he was into the story 100%.

Recommended age from 3 to 100.
