King of the Swamp
Catherine Emmett, Ben Mantle
From a brand-new picture book duo, this is a striking and unique story perfect for little people interested in climate awareness and looking after nature. McDarkly lives quietly all on his own, growing orchids in his dank swamp, until one day his peace is disturbed by an arrogant king who wants to turn the swamp into a roller-skate park. McDarkly has ten days to prove that the swamp isn't damp and dark, but an enchanted world. Can he do it, or will he risk losing his home forever?

It wasn't too good. I did not like the king as he was mean to McDarkly.

A lovely story with beautiful rhymes in a similar style to Dr Suess.

It’s fiction, I like that the king try’s to take the swamp but doesn’t in the end

I liked it. McDarkly makes me feel happy. I would recommend this book. My best bit was when the butterflies came.

Ivy thought the snails were slugs and the slugs wore shells. Ivy liked the butterfly's because they were beautiful.
