Book review: Phillipa Knickerbocker Glory

Phillipa Knickerbocker Glory is a beautifully illustrated children’s book aimed at children aged 3-6. It is the debut picture book by Sarahjane Funnell.

Phillipa Knickerbocker

Phillipa loves ice cream. She loves ice cream almost as much as she loves her pet cat Little Miss Whiskers. Little Miss Whiskers is her fluffy white cat with a purple collar and bell. She doesn’t like ice cream at all but loves nothing more than to curl up into a ball and fall fast asleep on the end of Phillipa’s bed.

One day Phillipa Knickerbocker Glory and Little Miss Whiskers embark on a deliciously exciting journey. Through a secret tunnel, they enter a magical dreamland where they find the Ice Cream Castle and discover every flavour of ice cream imaginable. The Ice Cream Castle  seems like a dream come true but will it be just how Phillipa imagined? With all that ice cream, will she and Little Miss Whiskers ever want to go home?

My two children were a little young for the book but the toddler enjoyed listening to the story and loved looking at the pictures with me. It’s a lovely picture book and we can’t wait to read more adventures of Phillipa and Little Miss Whiskers.

More information about the book, colouring sheets and a yummy recipe can be found on the Phillipa Knickerbocker website.
