An Unexpected Hero Pow Pow Pig

An Unexpected Hero: Pow Pow Pig by Anh Do

My 7 year old daughter was so excited to read this book because she absolutely loves the Anh Doh books she has read so far.

This is such a wonderful read about four animals with the funniest names – Pow Pow Pig, Cha Cha Chicken, Kung Fu Duck and Barry the Goat. Set in the year 2050, together they go on a quest to save the world they live in! In order to save the world, they have to travel back in time in a time machine, but on the first time travel the do, instead of going to the year 2030, they end up in the year 1030. While they are waiting for their time machine to recharge and take them to the right year, they find themselves trying to find a Princess that has gone missing.

It is a fun and wonderfully written book as my daughter wanted to keep on reading every page to find out what happens next.

She was left wanting more when she got to the end of the book and the page says ‘To Be Continued…’ she turned around and said to me “Can we get the next book now to read!?”

It is an engaging, adventurous, funny, fun and easy to read and follow book for kids aged 6-10 years old, with illustrations throughout and even some bonus stickers that the kids will enjoy at the back of the book.
