The Top 4 Book’s For Kids To Read

By Amber Munro-Fellowes

The reviews have been put together by Amber at Hot Chocolate Club.

Amber is 12 years old and we want to point this out, in case you are looking

for books for a different age group.

Amber has specifically chosen these books because they were easy for her

to read and gave her a sense of adventure. She also learnt about nature and

enjoyed using her imagination while reading these books.

Helpful book buying tips for Kids

Of course, children will have different interests. For example, some might prefer science,

or magic, so when looking for books for your children you might want to keep in mind they

may prefer something different.

When buying books for kids it is important to consider what they are currently into as kids

tend to have sensitive periods where they really get something and are hungry for more

on that topic. Aware parents can capitalise on this by listening and watching.

From a money stand-point, and so you can avoid disappointment, it may be best to

borrow a book from a library or friend before buying a book or series. If they like it you

can buy it – often kids reread their favourite books several times – or buy other books

from the same series.

It can help your kids enjoy the book even more if one or both the adults in the house read

the book at some point too. This means the adventure can be shared and discussed.

In our reviews we’ve given you an outline of the plot, some comments on the book and a

rating.

While these are the Hot Chocolate Club’s top 4 books, we appreciate there are lots of

other books that your kids will have enjoyed and we’d love to know what you would add

to our list and why. Let us and the rest of the Hot Chocolate Club Community at

we can then let you know when we release other videos, ebooks and guides like this one.

About Hot Chocolate Club and this resource…

Hot Chocolate Club was established in appreciation of two facts:

1. Kids want and need more of their parent’s time and energy.

2. Parents are busy and need to

know how to make the biggest

impact on their kids in the few

short years they have to positively

influence them.

Hot Chocolate Club is the idea of Neil

Fellowes, an entrepreneur dedicated to

helping the world become a better place,

and his daughter Amber.

Neil’s work is to inspire the parents into having the biggest impact

on their children in the limited time available, while Amber’s job is

to inspire the kids to gain the most possible from their parent’s

knowledge, abilities and guidance.

This e-guide is intended to inspire you and help you to connect

more with your kids and we do hope you enjoy it.

Book 1

Chronicles of Ancient Darkness


is a series of books. The first of

which is Wolf Brother.

It’s based in ancient times and

what I love about this book is that it’s full of adventure – plus it’s also good to

imagine a world before cars, planes, satellite TV, mobile phones and

Facebook.

Book Blurb

Torak is alone...wounded, terrified and on the run.

An outcast like his father, he has avoided all contact with the clans - until

now. Now his father lies dead: slaughtered by a demon in the form of a great

bear.

Somehow, Torak must keep going. His only ally is an orphaned wolf cub. His

only chance of survival is his skill as a hunter. But starvation isn't the only

thing in the Forest to fear.

Through the whispering spruce trees comes an evil more terrible than any

clan can imagine, let alone defeat. The Moon of Red Willow is fast

approaching: and soon Torak-and only Torak-must face a foe he can neither

outrun nor outwit; a foe who stalks him as silently as breath.

Series in Order

If you enjoy this first book, make sure that you read the other 5 books in the

Book 2

How to Train Your Dragon

The How to Train Your

Dragon series is very funny.

It is about a Viking boy named

Hiccup who is a great hero,

but doesn’t want to be a hero.

What I love about this book is the fact that it is absolutely hilarious.

Here is the blurb from the cover:

10 boys of the Hooligan Tribe intend to become full members of the

Hooligan Tribe by passing the Dragon Initation Programme. 2 boys, Hiccup,

son of the Chief Stoick the Vast and Fishlegs, Hiccup's friend who has a

squint and allergy to reptiles, are hasty about it.

Everyone else is big, tough and manly like Vikings should be, but Hiccup

and Fishlegs are skinny. Gobber the Belch, the soldier in charge of Initation

leads the Vikings-to-be to Wild Dragon Cliff, where they have to complete

the first part of the Dragon Iniation Programme: catching their own Dragon.

Fishlegs awakes all the young dragons when he tries to get a deadly nadder.

In a rush to escape, Hiccup gives Fishlegs his basic run and runs back to

grab a different dragon. Gobber the Belch saves the boys from attacking

dragons, but scolds them later.



How to Train Your Dragon

Book 3

The Precious Present


Once there was a boy. . . . Who listened to an old man. And, thus, he

began to learn about The Precious Present. "It is a present because it

is a gift," the contented man explained. "And it is precious because

anyone who receives such a present is happy forever."

"Wow!" the little boy exclaimed. "I hope someone gives me The Precious Present.

Maybe I'll get it for Christmas." The boy ran off to play. And the old man smiled. He liked

to watch the little boy play. He saw the smile on the youngster's face and heard him

laughing as he swung from a nearby tree. The boy was happy. And it was a joy to se

The old man also liked to watch the boy work. He even rose early on Saturday mornings

to watch the little labourer mow the lawn across the street. The boy actually whistled

while he worked. The little child was happy no matter what he was doing. It was, indeed,

a joy to behold.

When he thought about what the old man had said, the boy thought he understood. He

knew about presents. Like the bicycle he got for his birthday and the gifts he found under

the tree on Christmas morning. But as the boy thought more about it, he knew. The joy of

toys never lasts forever.

The boy began to feel uneasy. "What then," he wondered, "is The Precious Present?

What could possibly make me happy forever?" He found it difficult to even imagine the

answer. And so he returned to ask the old man.



The Precious Present

Ambers Summary

The Precious Present is a very interesting story. It’s got a good little tale to it. It’s

really simple and quite a quick read and one of those books you might read a few

times, because it makes you think.

When I read it I realised that there is no greater gift than now. When you first read

it, you start to wonder, what really is the Precious Present?

Book 4

Jonathon Livingston Seagull

If you sometimes feel like an outsider because you’re bored with conformity or the stupid arguments that happen at school over petty

little things that have no meaning or you’ve ever felt different to other people or if you’ve ever felt you’ve got some special gifts or talents and

you want to release the talent, I think you will really like this book.

Jonathan Livingstone Seagul is again quite a short book, about 150 pages and some of them have picture on, so it won’t take you too long

to go from cover to cover.


The book tells the story of Jonathan Livingston Seagull, a seagull who is bored with

the daily squabbles over food. Seized by a passion for flight, he pushes himself, learning everything he can about flying, until finally his unwillingness to conform

results in his expulsion from his flock. An outcast, he continues to learn, becoming increasingly pleased with his abilities as he leads an idyllic life.

One day, Jonathan is met by two gulls who take him to a "higher plane of existence"

in that there is no heaven but a better world found through perfection of knowledge, where he meets other gulls who love to fly. He discovers that his sheer tenacity and desire to learn make him "pretty well a one-in-a-million bird." Jonathan befriends the

wisest gull in this new place, named Chiang, who takes him beyond his previous learning, teaching him how to move instantaneously to anywhere else in the

Universe.



Jonathon Livingston Seagull

The secret, Chiang says, is to "begin by knowing that you have already arrived." Not

satisfied with his new life, Jonathan returns to Earth to find others like him, to bring them his learning and to spread his love for flight. His mission is successful,

gathering around him others who have been outlawed for not conforming. Ultimately, the very first of his students, Fletcher Lynd Seagull, becomes a teacher in his own

right and Jonathan leaves to teach other flocks.
