The Book That Changed My Life "Alien Snow by Dahl Pares"

Mamarazzi is a bookworm. She makan books for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Even before I was born, she already tried to infect me with this disease.

Books everywhere. Books within ones grasps instead of the TV remote control is the best way to encourage someone to start reading.

See! She went borong so much from BookXcess. Bought these even before am born!

Very dahsyat punya. Mamarazzi said, reading will give you opportunities to see the world in different ways and can go to many places in the world without taking the car or plane.

Hmmm... good also... by reading can travel to so many places without using car. Save petrol and less environmentally pollution. Can avoid accident summore!

Some driver really ganas one. Drive like F1 racer or drive like in an amusement park Bumper Car game.

Sometimes you don't langgar people, people will langgar you or Acts of God. Hmmm....wondered why it's called Acts of God not Acts of Devil???

*YAWN* I am very sleepy. Usually, Mamarazzi will read me a bedtime story from Enid's Blyton books or one of the books that she grabbed from warehouse sales

which I had to drag home. 

But today, I want something different. Papa bought a "Share Share Computer". Mamarazzi said it's a "Tarak boleh" coz I kept monopoly the "Share Share Computer". Papa said it's a "Tabulet".

I don't care la. I want Mamarazzi to read the e-Book which Auntie Little Bird sent me for my "Share Share Computer".

Title is 'Alien Snow'. Eh Eh? This buku is about my Alien kor kor kah? Oooo... rupanya it is not. It is betul betul about alien worr.


This book is fairly new. It was just published on 1st August 2011 by Capstone Publisher.  The author's name is Dahl Pares. The cover looks a bit scary, isn't it? But the story is really interesting.

It is about a young boy who visits an antique shop.The shopkeeper  then shows the boy his snow globes collection, but the boy is not interested in it.

Yuck! snow globes.. That's for girls lah. For me, I'm only interested in toy cars, but Mamarazzi said am so "ganas".

 Never appreciate the toy cars she bought for me. 

Anyway, back to the story. 

Den...tup tup tup.... suddenly the boy found himself trapped inside the snow globe! Just like me trapped in the "kandang" last time.

Gosh! the shop owner is a bad fella and likes to collect human inside the snow globe. So the boy's adventures begin, and he have to find a way out from the snow globe or be trapped inside of it forever!!

Wah, so scary... he cannot see his Papa and Mama anymore if he cannot find a way out of it.

The story is very interesting. It got me hooked, and can see illustrative picture from the "Share Share Computer".

There's two version of the story. One on the boy's side, another one is on the alien's side. Hmmm... good vs. evil. Interesting. This book tells the story from both side. Good right? Like that reader wun be biased and simply judge who is good and who is bad.

Personally, I think this is a good story. It makes me think that sometimes, good people can be bad, and bad people can be good and have their own reasons for doing things.

People always kesian those good people who seems to kena bully all the time. But in truth, you cannot just look on the surface. Sometimes, bad people in those stories are just misunderstood.

This book is a thought provoking read. It teaches me not to simply judge people. I highly recommends this book to little boys like me. It is a fun, easy and exciting book to read.

I give this book full stars because I think this book will change my life forever.

Okay, maybe that is exaggerating, but in some ways, it does change my taste for books. 

Now I like adventure kind of books more.

I am going to ask Mamarazzi buy this kind of books more for me from the next Big Bad Wolf Sale and/or BookXcess.

Comments


The book

First thing comes to mind is, this is a heavy book. Not in the sense that it's hard to read or digest but rather that it is hardcover and have 224 pages. Most of the stories in this book are from the Old Testament

I like the illustration as it's simple. Stories are told with simple wordings. Not many big words. Easy for children to read for themselves or with the help of an adult.

There is a scripture reference is given for each story in case you want to look it up in the Bible.

In my opinion, the book is suitable for kids around the age of 4 to 8 years old.

The DVDs

There are two DVD which comes with the book. In the DVD there are selected 26 stories from the book. The cartoon is simple nothing fancy. And the way they talk is rather slow to emphasis on what they are saying. Language used also simple.

It is just too bad the stories told in the DVD are not in sequence with stories in the book.

I think the DVD is suitable for toddlers and kids around 3-5 years old. Older kids would find the DVD not much of a challenge.

Thomas Nelson gave me a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review
