You could create speech bubbles for the children’s creatures with the sounds their various creatures make while they’re racing. McIntyre and Reeve must work incredibly closely on this since all pages are a delight to look at and read.

Maybe I have been away from kids books too long but the detail and imagination that go in to every page seems to be a cut above the rest. They’re based on the Sea Monkey from Oliver and the Seawigs, but the same comic-making tips would apply to Pugs or any book or comic the children create. After I read it we talked about the book and she certainly remembered many funny details ("Yeti Spaghetti - too obvious") and seemed to enjoy discussing it. You can feature one kind of snow per child (‘a selection of the 50 kinds of snow in Pugs of the Frozen North’) or show all 50 kinds.And since we'd done it for Claire, it made sense to turn it into notes that more people could print out. This lively and exciting space story from the duo behind Oliver and the Seawigs is packed with fun, adventure and plenty of surreal humour. Pugs of the Frozen North” is written so well that adults can enjoy the story and not find it cloying or juvenile. It is full of humour, charm, heart and tension as we journey along with our fearless and generous duo.

At the top of the page, they draw the title of their comic, which is the name of that particular kind of snow (Singing Snow, Shrink Snow, Farting Snow, Giggle Snow, etc). With fourteen chapters and just over 200 pages, this is probably best for more confident readers, aged approx 7+. Mi-a plăcut, a fost haioasă, plina de imaginație cu atâtea tipuri de zăpadă, iar Moș Omăt m-a dus cu gândul la Moș Crăciun.That was my one serious issue with this book, but it was a passing reference and Captain Jeggings disappeared from the narrative so quickly that I didn't let it ruin my enjoyment of the rest of the book. Pugs of the Frozen North is a cute story about a boy and 66 baby pugs that are stranded in the far north. This one might be for kids but it shows his wonderful sense of humor and is a wonderful adventure for adults as well as kids. But will they manage to have a happy ending and have their wishes come true, you will have to read to find out more! Snow trolls, sea monsters and a tribe of hungry yetis stand in their way but will their 234 paw-powered sled help them be the first to get to the finish line?

The ‘Pugs of the Frozen North’ is another terrific tale from the incredibly talented Philip Reeve and Sarah McIntyre. Created collaboratively by two stars of the children’s book world Philip Reeve and Sarah McIntyre, who lead the way in creating novels for the 7+ age-group where text and illustration blend seamlessly with equal importance.I almost feel it would be better to begin the story with no explanation as to why a boy and 66 pugs are left stranded in the arctic. If you want to make the video public on YouTube or Vimeo and there are privacy issues, the children without video permissions could do voice-overs while the camera focuses on their snowball and artwork. Whenever I'm driving long distances I'll listen to the Mortal Engines audiobooks (three times through so far!

We understand that not everyone can donate right now, but if you can afford to contribute, we promise it will be put to good use. These genius collaborative novels from Reeves and McIntyre are not just funny, they are exciting,absorbing adventures with a great cast of characters. Our intrepid duo have already brought us two fantastic adventures with ‘Oliver and the Seawigs’ and ‘Cakes in Space’ and this book is as equally brilliant.He will grant a wish to the winner; Sika wants to win so she can wish for her beloved grandfather to live and see another “once-in-a-lifetime” winter. My favourite character is Shen, because of how he saved Sika and all the other racers from becoming full yetis when they were eating yeti noodles on their trip to the top of the world!
