The Dodo’s did it! by Alice McKinley

Synopsis

Jack doesn’t just like dodos, he LOVES them. So when his dearest wish for a pet dodo comes true, surely Jack will be the happiest he’s ever been, EVER. 

Unless, of course, Jack wishes for more and more dodos and his new pets cause complete chaos, and no one believes that the dodos did it because dodos don’t exist and everyone blames Jack for everything.

Maybe it's time for Jack to think about wishing for something completely different . . . 

Review

Here comes ‘The Dodo’s did it!’ from the author of ‘Nine lives Newton’. We were excited to sit down to read this and my daughter was enticed by the pink bold book cover.

On the first page we learn the names of the Dodo’s and my daughter loved ‘Scubie’ and her pink unicorn inflatable ring! She enjoyed spotting her on the pages in the story (As well as another character we are familiar with!)

Poor Jack gets into a lot of trouble and we laughed at all the mayhem created by the Dodo’s. My daughter had a big smile on her face whilst we read this, there is nothing like a bit of mischief and naughtiness to make a smile!

I throughly recommend this funny mayhem filled picture book. The story is great fun and the illustrations are very detailed and appealing. We really enjoyed looking at all the details in the pictures and talking about them together. 

‘The Dodo’s Did it’ by Alice McKinley, published by Simon and Schuster is out on the 29th April 2021.
