When you Give an Imp a Penny by Henry L Herz, Josh Herz and Harrison Herz

giveanimp.jpgWhen you Give an Imp a Penny is a beautiful book and an enchanting little tale.  This is a book by the same authors as the Monster Goose Nursery Rhymes that I reviewed here (basically a book written by Henry and his two sons).

When you Give an Imp tells a sweet tale about the implications of inviting an imp into your home.  Imps are mischievous little characters in fact the definition of an imp is either ‘a little devil or a mischievous child’ and I think that what the authors have achieved here is a perfect combination of the two.

I don’t review children’s books as a rule but the Monster Goose Nursery Rhyme book and this new book, I think, are beautiful stories and rhymes to read to your children.  The imp in this tale is a cute little character and the illustrations provided by Abigail Larson are beautiful.  Basically, I think, it’s a lovely little bedtime story that both parents and children can enjoy together.

I received this book for review by the author.  The above is my own opinion.

      It is – it’s only for youngsters though – a proper little bedtime story.

      No worries – although, you’ve made me realise I need to go and amend my review slightly because this really is for young children. The sort of book that you can go and read at bedtime.

        Haha! Thanks, Lynn. I will still try. 😉

        Okay, didn’t know whether I’d made it sound more like children’s literature akin to The Borrowers or Wizard of Oz. it’s a very charming read, beautifully illustrated and ends on a lovely note so it makes a perfect bedtime story for younger children.
