Critic Reviews
Amber Tambourine and the Land of Laugh-a-Lot follows a little girl who takes her dogs for a walk in the woods after the rain stops. As they make their way through the woods Amber discovers a polka-dotted rainbow that leads to the magical town of Laugh-a-Lot where everything is polka-dotted and the people sing and dance all day.
This is a wonderfully imaginative children's book that, like Alice in Wonderland, leads the main character and readers into a wondrous land where odd but fun things happen. The art is vivid and sharp and really accents the kaleidoscopic nature of Laugh-a-Lot. Children will have plenty of eye candy to enjoy in this book as Amber dances and sings the day away.
The story is easy to follow and understand, with some challenging words for young readers that will help build their vocabulary. When the fun ends and Amber returns home I was delighted to learn that her mother was in Laugh-a-Lot as a child too. This gives the story a fairy tale-like quality with a deeper backstory than a simple child's picture book often offers.
Amber Tambourine and the Land of Laugh-a-Lot is a delightful picture book that takes readers on a colorful journey to a land where having fun is easy.
