About this deal

This is a nice story about coming into yourself and being resilient. The friendship that develops between Little Echo and Max is very sweet and a great example for kids. This is also full of wonderfully expressive language to help build vocabularies and storytelling skills. The art is lively and detailed and complements the story nicely. This would be a good circle time read for pre-K and early elementary.

Little Echo wants to talk, wants to go on adventures, and wants to be included, but she's too shy to do anything but echo. Finding her own words will be hard, but it could be worth being brave for. Interesting way to show little kids how echoes work. And a good way to talk about gaining confidence and making friends. The illustrations were interesting (the cross section of the caves was my favourite!) Thank you so much, to the publisher and NetGalley for the free preview copy of this ebook; the review is voluntary--and enthusiastic! It has richly textured pictures, with layered brushstrokes of meadow and thunderstorm, and animals conjured in a few fine lines. The Times Best Books for Children 2023

The illustrations are in a unique and interesting to look at. I love the underground cross section that shows you the caves and tunnels, you see bats hanging upside down reading, bees enjoying a glass of something, and in my favourite cave, some fox-like creatures are sprawled on the floor doing some drawing!

This is a cute story about building friendship - it tells about little Echo who is too shy to use her own voice, so she just echoes other animals and visitors to herh home (a cave). One day, to save a little boy named Max, she has to use a word of her own!Puffin has acquired the debut picture book from author-illustrator Al Rodin after a hotly-contested seven-way auction.

In another corner of the meadow is Lion - who is also looking for an adventure, and for a pet of his own . . .Little Echo is a beautifully illustrated picture book. I read it to my 6 year old daughter and she loved it! This is a story about a little echo who is shy and hides away. But then she meets a boy and as she helps him, she finds a friend and discovers her voice. I thought this book had a very positive message and I’m glad I shared it with my daughter. Little Echo lives alone in a cave until, one day, a chance encounter encourages her to be brave and make a new friend. A gentle story about finding your own voice. I have never seen an Echo but through Al Rodin’s masterly rendition he created the most endearing vision of sounds of nature and the world reached from a confined cave. The arrival of Max searching for treasure, almost lost his life and it was little Echo who saved Max from a hungry bear. Rodin, who studied children's book illustration at the Cambridge School of Art and featured in the Illustrator's Exhibition at Bologna in 2019,said:"I'm so delighted to be working with Andrea, Clare and the magical team at Puffin. Puffin books have given me such joy throughout my life and it feels very special to now be working together on making stories. I'm immensely grateful to the Puffin team for their incredible support and encouragement and I can't wait to introduce everyone to Little Echo!"

Let's talk about how vivid and wonderful the illustrations are. They are so cute and colorful that they will catch one's eye. It also introduces children to what an echo is and how it works. in a wonderfully imaginative way. As they explore the cave together (looking for treasure of course) Echo learns to listen and speak to build a friendship for the first time! Little Echo by Al Rodin is beautifully illustrated. I loved this story! It is a great little story about finding the courage to speak up. It is also about friendship. Little Echo (represented in a illustration as a mouse) is a tiny and timid creature that lives in a large cave. It is too afraid to show itself and would only echo behind any sounds made by other creatures living in the cave. One day, a little boy name Max came into the cave in seeking treasure. Little Echo could not help but follow him and when he got into danger, Little Echo finally develops some courage to say its own words and thus, save Max. They became good friends as such!Little Echo is award-winning illustrator Al Rodin’s debut book. It’s a precious story about companionship and overcoming fears. It’s also a tale of hope and will. The characters are adorable, and the illustrations are spectacular. Once again I was drawn to a book because of its cover and I have no regrets! I loved the colors and the illustrations of this book, so I knew I had to request it when I saw it on #Netgalley. Emily Ann Davison is a mother by day and a children’s writer by night.
