Product reviews...
My youngest son has been a fan of Deano Yipadee's books ever since we picked up our first one which was quite some time ago. We quickly became fans of his popular characters such as Stink-O-Saurus and of course the classic Nee Naw! When I saw that there was a new addition to the Nee Naw friends, I knew instantly that we needed to get our hands on the book to see what adventures would unfold with this new character Moto Mike the Motorbike!
As with all of Mr. Yipadee's children's books the front page is full of vibrant colours and eye-catching friendly looking characters, Nee Naw is off course featured alongside Moto Mike on the cover. When my son looked at the cover initially, he immediately exclaimed that Moto Mike looked a bit like he was a police motorbike and he got excited about that idea and wanted to read the story right away to see if his assumption was indeed correct. The illustrator Bruce Potter has done a wonderful job throughout the story with the bright and detailed pictures that complement each page of the story, my son liked how it looked like all the characters were happy because they were constantly smiling in each picture.
The story starts off that the town is having a parade, so there are lots of happy people enjoying themselves, when suddenly there is a bit of drama when the bridge caused some drama to one of the farmers, and he was caught in a predicament hanging from his britches. Unfortunately, the farmer was at the start of the parade and Nee Naw was stuck behind the large queue of people in the parade, so of course he decided to enlist the help of one of his friends - cue Moto Mike the motorbike - luckily Mike was small enough to be able to make his way quickly to save the day with the help of Nee Naw and his long hose! My son was happy to see that he was indeed correct that Mike is a police motorbike, and he thought that Nee Naw and Mike make a fantastic team!
Overall, this is another story in the Nee Naw series that has become a favourite in our household, however when my son decides he is ready to, we will donate it to our small local rural school to add to their library for more children to enjoy for years to come.
