Review:

'This book, written by author Richard Silverton, is a super fun and magical way to bring some awareness to our forests and nature in general.  I loved the details on every page. He really brought these mystical creatures to life in my head and my children’s minds as well. Each character has their own uniqueness that you just grow to love and you can see them each in your mind because of the great details Mr. Silverton used. Because of our lifestyle and how we have raised the children to this point I believe, even though they are so young, that both of my boys picked up on the importance of the trees in the story and how we are supposed to protect them.  They talk about our lack of trees at our new house quite often'

Review:

"I am a lover of nature and all its splendor. I sometimes marvel at how amazing everything in nature is, from the tiniest insect to the largest of trees. In Mr. Hookumbacker and the Yella Yella Yum Yum Tree, nature is showcased in all is beauty, but also in all the mystery and magic that I believe is hidden within our world. The book highlights the importance of taking care of our forests and our world, but it also sparks imagination in both adults and children with adventure, fun characters (with super cute and fun names) and a bit of suspense. I really enjoyed it and rate it 4 stars! I cannot wait til my boys are older and they can read this fun book for themselves! "

Review:

"Growing up, I always found peace when surrounded by an abundance of trees. Many days were spent by the creek down from the old house. Other times I ran deep among the trees to find refuge when the home life was rough. For me personally, there has always been something magical deep within a wooded area. After reading the book Mr Hookumbacker and the Yella Yella Yum Yum Tree, I believe in that magic more than ever.

Written by author Richard Silverton, Mr Hookumbacker and the Yella Yella Yum Yum Tree is a fun way to help bring awareness to our forests & wooded areas. As I read through the pages, I was taken into a world of magic & beauty. Each character has their own unique characteristics that make you love them even more throughout the story.

 In the beginning of the story I was sort of wishing there were illustrations but once I read further, I was happy that there were no pictures. This left it all up to me. My mind was the creator when it came to visualizing what each character looked like. It truly made the story more magnificent. Do not get me wrong though- I'd LOVE to see this made into a movie. It'd be awesome!

I'm thoroughly glad to have been given the chance to review this book. Mr Silverton has done a great job at bringing a delightful story to his readers (young & old). The only thing that could make this book any better?? Another book to carry on the story."

Giveaway and book review of children's book Mr. Hookumbacker and the Yella Yella Yum Yum Tree at Emily Reviews blog

The book was reviewed by Jessica - thank you Jessica!

"This little adventure starts off in the Cracking Stone Forest, where the forest tree master, Mr. Hookumbacker, is preparing Wiggle Twig Village for a naming ceremony of the newest bumble tum and sapling in the forest. Bumble Tu
ms are tiny creatures that act as guides and tree keepers for the new saplings, and help maintain the general health of the forest. They are named bumble tums, because their tummy’s are striped like bumble bees! The first naming ceremony we are introduced to is where a little bumble tum named Cherry Petals, and her new sapling, Holly Shallina are paired up and sent into the forest to start their lives as bumble tums and saplings.

The forest is full of excitement at night, and when the sun rises, it settles down, and rests for the day. Saplings, especially, are expected to be back within the confines of the forest before sunrise, otherwise if they are caught outside when the sun rises, they take root forever where they are. They would be exposed to the elements, and weeds, and they would not be able to run and play as they once did."
