Book Spotlight: Kamyla Chung and the Creepy Crawlies by Ellwyn Autumn

SYNOPSIS:

Kamyla Chung has a big problem. Every night after her parents turn off the light, a giant creepy crawly appears on her bedroom wall. Her parents buy her a night-light, but that only makes things worse! Will an exterminator be able to help, or will the creepy crawlies scare her away? Beautiful illustrations and creative prose will endear children to the story of Kamyla, a little girl who sees things on her wall that might or might not be products of a vivid imagination.

MY REVIEW:

Kamyla Chung and the Creepy Crawlies by Ellwyn Autumn
This colorful children's book starts out with Kamyla and she's heading to bed talking to her dad about creepy crawlies and he reassures her they are not in their house.
Love that the dad gets to put her to bed. Pages and text are very well displayed-you can see white lettering on darker pages and words are highly visible. Love this feature and also on the tablet you can enlarge them if you have vision problems.
She uses her other stuffed animals to help get her to sleep and put her fears away about creepy things.
One night she sees things and actually cries out and her parents come to cmfort her. They call in the experts and he looks high and low for the creepy crawlies hiding places.
Like that he allows her to help also and how he discoers what the problem is and is able to show them all. There are good crawlie things and glad to see they are also highlighted as being good.
Now that the fear is gone there are other fears to take their place. Love also how mother is there to reassure her also. Like all the measures they take to rid the room of creepy things.
Would love to read more from this author as I like how the story is told but life lessons also that are brought to the forefront.
One thing I did not like was such a dark color for main cover. That usually turns me off from even wanting to read a book.
Received this review copy from the author and this is my honest opinion.
