What Does Bookroo Think of The Snatchabook

The joy of reading springs from each page, enchanting seemingly ordinary forests and bedrooms.

“In every house, in every bed, a bedtime book was being read” in this wonderful book-centric world created by husband and wife team Tom and Helen Docherty. This enchanting woodland world at first seems to feature only ordinary creatures you might find in your local forest—badgers, hedgehogs, rabbits and the like—until the book’s namesake rises eerily from the shadows: the Snatchabook. This mythical creature, while making an eery apperance, is a friendly, goodhearted character that draws us further into the storybook world with its features that seem to include, among others, dragon fly wings and a lion’s tail. The illustration style feels classic but fresh, and the inclusion of time-honored stories—such as Little Red Riding Hood and Goldilocks—and toys—like blocks and train sets—ensures the illustrations will be hold up well throughout the years. Add to this the book’s excellent cadence, elevated word choice and sweet story, and the Dochertys have created a classic read-aloud about the joy of reading.

    In every house, in every bed,
A bedtime book was being read
    Tales of dragons, spitting flames
    Eliza Brown, at Number Three,
Was reading quite contentedly
    What kind of monster could it be?
