The Blurb On The Back:
Harriet is seven. And a quarter. Horace is seventeenth century. And a STATUE!
But after a rather rocky start, their friendship is soon on a very firm footing. Together they take up the challenge to help Horace (who has come down from his pedestal) get to grips with modern life.
Separated by centuries. Joined by a common purpose. Horace and Harriet are rock solid!
( The Review (Cut For Spoilers): )
The Verdict:
Clare Elsom's self-illustrated humour book for children aged 7+ (the first in a series) is a breezy read that sets out the friendship between an unlikely duo and has plenty of humour (including amusing drawings) that will appeal to younger readers and although I wished there'd been a bit more of Harriet's human friends, Horace is a pompous but winning character and I'd like to see more of the pair.
HORACE AND HARRIET TAKE ON THE TOWN was released in the United Kingdom on 1st March 2018. Thanks to the Amazon Vine Programme for the review copy of this book.
