inBook Review of “TULLIE the TOUCAN” written by Victor Caprio.
I had the honour of reviewing an amazing children’s book “TULLIE the TOUCAN” by Author Victor Caprio.
Storyline
The book is about a magic journey of a toucan through the jungle with accurate descriptions how a toucan lives, eats, makes it nest, and it is all about his habitat. The toucan makes friends, Garreth, Gloria ,Carl and Mango through the journey of the book. Each friend will have their own book as the Author writes and publishes the full series.
The Author
Victor Caprio Writer Illustrator and Publisher of this book, as a young Canadian child had a passion for looking up famous authors. His favourite was Author Robert Munch. Victor always wanted to write story books for children. When I talked to him he told me how he loves nature, art, water colour painting, drawing and using his childlike demeanour to relate to children. He named this first book of the series in honour of his father Tullio, nicknamed Tullie. Victor recalls his dad, an artist who always encouraged him to draw and use his imagination. Victor still loves to watch cartoons, play with toys and has a special nephew Luca to play games with when they are together.
Review
This is all demonstrated in his book. The little story book is for a 2 to 6 year old child, and perfect for parents to read to their children. Psychological research demonstrates parent child reading produces positive secure bonding and attachment relationships. My training and experience in dealing with child psychology has taught me that you can not underestimate the value of parent and child reading. From the undivided attention of the parent to the child, children develop a sense of high self esteem. The Child then becomes a high achiever in their reading, and the learning from the educational aspects of the books accelerates their other academic studies Tullie the Toucan and the series are not only entertaining but have educational content.
“TULLIE the TOUCAN” is full of water colour illustrated pictures with fun rhythm words that educate children about wildlife and their habitat. The colourful beautiful illustrated pictures mirror the words for young children to learn reading at an early age.
The Colour and rhythm of the book would make any child’s face light up, as the book can make you feel like you are in the story with the character. It is somewhat like the experience of being in a fun soft wildlife children’s movie. Another important aspect of this book is that is it all the Authors original work. Therefore a child will have something new to read on a regular basis instead of the same old favourites by the large companies that produce children books. I can say with confidence that this book will soon become one of any child’s favourites. And how convenient this is to be able to have it stored in your phone for easy access.
Interesting I should mention movie because Victor is also an Actor and a Producer. Victor has written the next of his series of these fun, bright and beautiful educational children story books and we look forward to the next publication of Garreth the Gator again through Amazon.
