Kristin (149 KP) rated Savannah's Story in Books
Dec 7, 2018
I rather enjoyed this little children's book. It tells the story of Savannah, a bored little girl with sisters who don't have the time to play with her. She then wishes she could be in her dollhouse, and lo and behold, it happens! She plays with her dolls, her teddy bears, and has a grand old time. But soon, she starts to miss her sisters, wishing she could go back to them, and she realizes that her sisters are her true friends.
I really liked the ending message of the story, that as long as you believe in magic, it's all around you. I've always felt that way, and it's a great thing for children to believe in, especially those with large imaginations. I would definitely read this story to my kids (if I had any), but I enjoyed reading it, as well.
5 stars

(According to the preface in the edition I read), this was written before his Magnum Opus of <i>The Lord of the Rings</i> trilogy, with Tolkien later going back and revising key portions of this - namely, the Riddles in the Dark sequence where Bilbo encounters Gollum, and finds the Ring of Power - to bring it more in line with those sequels.
Like <i>The Lord of the Rings</i>, while this may be (is) a good story, the prose can also be a little bit on the dry side - I did find myself occasionally skimming through some of the chapters. Not as dry, however, as I remember <i>The Lord of the Rings</i> to be!

What makes it special is that, firstly, it is genuinely very funny, with strong performances from all concerned, and, secondly, when it's not trying to be funny, it is actually quite eerie: as the Unthanks' soundtrack played and the scarecrows of Albion stirred into awkward life, I felt a genuine shiver down my spine. It's not quite folk horror for kids, but there is a mystical atmosphere to the whole thing which suits the story extremely well. All of this is handled with a surprising but very welcome lightness of touch. One of the best things I saw on TV in 2019 (not that this is necessarily saying much).

As a parent myself I can assure you that although for an adult these can be mind numbing and rather boring, its good to know that there's tv to help home schooling.
Alphablocks is a British animated educational television programme that is designed to teach young children how to spell using animated blocks representing each letter. It is animated by Blue-Zoo and produced by Alphablocks Ltd.
Once the Alphablocks discover that whenever they make a word it comes to life, many new adventures in Alphaland can be created.
This is meant to help preschool children with learning the alphabet, spelling, reading and writing.
With it's bright colours & easy to understand dialogue, Alphablocks is a fun and intriguing show for kids.
