Marco Moonwalker Review


The nights are getting darker, the hot chocolates are made and the comfy slippers are on... so let me share a silly little story with you about a dancing bear.

Title: Marco Moonwalker

Author: Gerry Boland

Release Date: 27th August 2012

Publisher: O’Brien Press Ltd

 
Marco – an even more

Remarkable Grizzly Bear


After escaping from the zoo and coming to live with Patrick and his mum, Marco proves to have many talents. Now Patrick discovers that Marco is also a musical genius – he can play the trombone, banjo and even dance like Michael Jackson! ‘Let’s start a band’, Patrick says, and Marco becomes a STAR. Then disaster strikes. He is spotted without his mask and brought back to the zoo. How will Patrick and Mum get him out again?

Marco is a musically talented grizzly bear. However, when someone discovers that he is the mystery third member of the 3Ms, Marco is hastily returned to the zoo. Luckily, Patrick’s mum has a great idea to make sure he doesn’t have to stay...

This delightful little tale is perfect to share with someone younger on a cold winter night. It is the perfect length to keep little minds interested with enough humour to entertain any adult.  The illustrations are brilliant and Marco is a captivating character. Filled with scheming and daft ideas, this book will make people of all ages laugh out loud.

 
5/5 A funny tale with fab illustrations.
 
With special thanks to O'Brien for sending me a copy of the book.
