Lily Lemon Blossom Welcome to Lily's Room by Barbara Miller

This is my first Children's book review. I decided to add these into my reviews as I've been studying children's books for a while now. I'm in the process of writing two children's book series and since I am only a parent to a fur child I don't have children to read too. However, I'm pretty sure that Charlie isn't arguing with me reading to him like a two legged human.

On with the review!

Lily Lemon Blossom the title in itself is a mouthful, this book by Barbara Miller brings you into the descriptive details of Lily's room.

I found the illustrations to be inviting and easy to follow. The descriptions given for each aspect of a child's room, such as the music box are simple and sweet. They allow for the reader to understand each aspect of the story.

Lily's adventures with her toys and room decor brought me back to my own childhood with tea parties and dress-up. However, I found no story behind the book. I was expecting reasoning behind the dolls and dresses, but the description itself provided nothing more than the idea that this was Lily's room.

This is great for children age 5 and under in my eyes, as there is not much to be gained from a storyline. Truthfully for some children who read this, they may find some type of jealousy inside for Lily has a lot of toys in her room. Some of which many children will never see or play with.

At a price of Free for Amazon Kindle I would recommend this for two things alone. The illustrative drawings and price. The story needs more fluff and understanding for me to enjoy it further. I was hoping that Lily would have gone on an adventure instead I felt empty with just a description of her room.

I do feel that this is a great start to a story line for Lily Lemon Blossom and will have in inquire about Miller's other books based on this character to maintain a further opinion on the series.

Overall for a price of free, its worth seeing if your child will like it before investing in the series.
