Elly Book 5 Review

“Elly Book 5” is a simple and sweet children’s book, part of the “Elly the Reindeer” series of illustrated story books.

In “Elly Book 5,” Elly the reindeer and friends go on a trip to the seaside for the day and have an adventure. The illustrations are colorful and pleasant to look at, and the story is gentle and sweet. Although short, I found it satisfying that the story takes us from morning to night, spending the day with Elly until she’s tucked safely in her bed at home. My son enjoyed both the story and illustrations.

There is no narration, music, or sound in the “Elly” series, so the experience is much like reading a traditional book to a child.

I think “Elly Book 5” and the entire “Elly the Reindeer” series in general are wonderful choices to read to even the youngest child who may have a short attention span or be overwhelmed by sounds, movements, and the tapping you find in other apps. Older children like my son (2.5 years old) will still find these stories fun and entertaining, as do I.
