Hear what our Glass House Kids think in our Christmas Wish List Video:
Publishers Fat Fox compiled a book, with a list of heavyweight celebrities in order to help raise money for the Children in Need Appeal 2015. Based on the much loved game of ‘consequences’, each celebrity that took part in the compilation was given just three things – a single blank page, the character’s name (Fi Rex, a girl who is half girl, half dinosaur) and the last line of the previous page. What resulted was one of the most imaginative, hilarious and colourful children’s books of 2015 which reached Number One of the Bestsellers List on Amazon.
The Glass House Girls put The Curious Tale of Fi Rex to the ultimate test and trialled the book with our very own super critical panel of judges: The Glass House Kids.
The book was rated a 5/5 by the children with the main quotes from the children on the day being:
“It’s a really funny book and I love the lions” – Barnaby aged 9
“I love the girl. She is cool with her dino legs” – Tabitha aged 6
The illustrations in the book really bring the story to life, which is unsurprising given the talent that was brought in to give the story life. Julia Patton, award winning illustrator ensures that the colourful story is just as bright on the page as in the minds of the children reading or listening to the story.
