Here Comes Hortense is a fabulous little read by Heather Hartt- Sussman, with outstanding pictures by illustrator Georgia Graham and a super creative contemporary plot. I thought it would be a great choice to resurrect our children’s series called Tales From The Treehouse. We did a lot of reviews from the backyard last year with my children and somehow put that concept on hold for a bit. Anyways here we are again chatting up some of our favourite reads.
Details:
Here Comes Hortense was just released by Tundra Books, author Heather Hartt-Sussman and illustrator Georgia Graham, 2012, picture books, Canada $19.99.
I give this one 5 out of 5 $$$$$. I loved it. Especially because it is so unique. Huge props to the author for tackling grandparent love. I adore this illustrator. The characters are so detailed and expressive and the amusement park is magical.
I received a copy of Here Comes Hortense for the purpose of this review.My opinions are all my own.
