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 Tums 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."

Review:

"Mr. Hookumbacker and the Yella Yella Yum Yum Tree is a children’s adventure story. The Forest of the Cracking Stone is full of wonder and natural beauty. It is also a place of magic as well as honey tickles, bumbletums, sapling shines and a kindly old tree master called Mr. Hookumbacker.

I am excited I had the chance to review Mr. Hookumbacker and the Yella Yella Yum Yum Tree. At first I was a little surprised at the length of the book because it does have a few chapters. I wasn’t sure our kids being so young (and having such a short attention span) would sit through it, but I read it to them one chapter at a time. We were always eager for the next chapter – myself included! It really is an engaging story that keeps you wanting to read more! I really enjoyed this book because it touches on the importance of our environment while taking you through a fun, adventurous tale full of unique characters with fun names! I really love how the author combined such a very important concern and made it fun and enjoyable! I also like how the story expressed different types of relationships including friends going out of their way to help another! I think overall this book is filled with great messages rolled up into magical adventure and a lot of fun!"

Review:

"When I learned that this book focused on environmental issues, I was excited to read it. The author talks about the necessity of caring for nature and how to do so using fiction and in a fun way. The main protagonists are the plants and the antagonists are their adversaries: the weeds. The adventure that the plants go on would be exciting for young readers around a first or second grade reading level. My children are obviously too young to read this book right now, but I'm sure they'll enjoy to do so someday.

Review:

"I have been trying to use my Kindle as an actual Kindle lately and have been trying to find some new books for the boys. I was introduced to the eBook Mr. Hookumbacker and the Yella Yella Yum Yum Tree by Richard Silverton. This is a fun adventurous children’s book with a magical and whimsical story line.


This is a book that is really going to get your kids thinking and having fun while they are enjoying the journey of Holly Shallina. This story is full of fun and silly names that are sure to get your kids attention. As Holly travels around The Forest of Cracking Stone to the Village of Wiggle Twig, she meets fun new friends. I mean what kid wouldn’t get into a story about characters like Buddy Trix and Cherry Petals? The author really tries to make you feel like you are there with all the characters. The details are amazing and sure to keep the attention of even the most fidgety child!

One of my favorite things about this book is how it helps to send a message to kids and families about the importance of preserving our environment and helping to take care of our helpless creatures. It also helps to teach the importance of teamwork and friendship."

My children's book Mr. Hookumbacker and the Yella Yella Yum Yum Tree has been reviewed by Connie on her Peanut Butter and Whine blog. My thanks to her and Alice!

"One of my favorite times of day is reading books to Alice. We read everything from simple one line per page  books to full stories with several chapters. I love that Alice doesn't need pictures to hear a story.  When I was offered "Mr. Hookumbacker and the Yella Yella Yum Yum Tree" to read and review I didn't hesitate to say OF COURSE!!! With a title like that how could I resist??!?!?  (Alice doesn't know that I manage to say the name differently every time!!! Mr. Hookumbacker and the Yella Yella Yum Yum Tree is a cute book, with an important message we have to care for our forests.

Mr. Hookumbacker is 215 pages of magical adventure that takes place in the Forest of the Cracking Stone. The forest is filled with bubble tums (they care for the forest), honey tickles, sapling shines. (Aren't these names great??) Cherry Petals lives in the Wiggle Twig Village but must travel far away to find a Yella Yella Yum Yum Tree to save her friend. This is a fun book to read out loud. The names are fun, the story is fun and the message is important. There is so much adventure in this book kids of all ages will thoroughly enjoy it"

"I recently discovered the eBook Mr. Hookumbacker and the Yella Yella Yum Yum Tree by Richard Silverton.  This children's book is an adventure story with a magical and whimsical plot.  It has the silliest names such as The Forest of the Cracking Stone or the village of Wiggle Twig.

This book is sure to get your kids' imaginations flowing and will teach them about friendship.  The author, Richard Silverton, describes even the smallest of details in this magical land so you truly feel like you are right there with the characters.  He describes the Bumble Tums, which are similar to bumble bees, as "tree keepers" that work to keep the forest healthy.  In return for the Bumble tums good work, the trees allow them to feed off of their honey sap, the Bumble Tums favorite food."

'This is a very cute and endearing children’s story about friendship. I love how Holly’s friends do all they need to when she is trapped outside the forest boundary. More than just the fantasy and adventure that takes place is the lesson that children will learn in that we need to take care of their natural environments. My daughter loved this and has read it more than a dozen times already.'
