Purinina

Written and illustrated by Christine Booth

ISBN 9781486317264 (2024)

This book illustrates the need to protect our natural habitat to allow near-extinct creatures like the Purininas (Devils) to flourish by creating a story that will surely capture any young reader’s attention.

It will need careful reading first to check out how a more sensitive child will handle the mother’s death.

Additionally, a range of languages is offered, from simple and fun to more complex. A helpful glossary and Devil Details aid this approach to learning. The inclusion of Devil language “hffff” and “aaaruf“ will add a fun element to any reading.

Reviewer: Frankie Wallace (mother of two), Grad Dip Psychology, BA Psychology and Counselling works with Young Juveniles.
