Wedding Crasher

Weddings invite chaos, and this short illustrated adventure builds its comedy around a celebration that refuses to go to plan. The book sits in the cheerful middle of young fiction: brisk chapters, plenty of dialogue, artwork across most spreads and a plot that moves faster than it explains itself. That combination works for children who have just started reading independently and still want pictures carrying part of the story, and it reads aloud easily for a shared bedtime chapter. Humour rather than danger drives the action from beginning to end. Small things worth knowing: • An illustrated chapter book rather than a picture book • Comic situations built around a wedding gone sideways • Chapter lengths judged for newly independent readers • Works equally well read aloud or read alone A cheerful addition to a young reader's shelf and to primary classroom libraries, and it is available from Boipoka.
