Mr. Kerfuffle Lost His Duffle by R.W. Starr is a delightful and charming story about a friendly ogre with big dreams. Mr. Kerfuffle proves that not all ogres are the same as he works to care for the forest and all his friends. But as much as he loves the forest, he still has big dreams. He dreams of sailing around the world and making discoveries in new lands. Before he can leave, first he needs to pack, which means he needs his duffle. But he has a problem. He can’t find his duffle anywhere. With the help of his friends, he searches every part of his home in the hope that he’ll be able to leave and see the world. The story is upbeat, though the worry he has about losing his duffle is genuine and children will be able to relate to the feeling.
The story flips the idea of a scary ogre and introduces one that is friendly and kind, creating a colorful character that will catch children’s attention. The illustrations by Serena Santa Maria show a lovely character with bright eyes and a sweet attitude. He represents an easy-to-understand journey to follow your dreams and never give up until you achieve them. These detailed illustrations show the magic and wonder of his woodland home. This is a great setting with a fairytale essence that feels wholesome and creates a fun backdrop for Mr. Kerfuffle. R.W. Starr weaves in an interactive aspect that enables children to take part in the search. The interaction is also seen through his various friends who answer Mr. Kerfuffle’s questions as he searches. The writing is humorous and childlike with cute moments such as Mr. Kerfuffle even looking under his toe. Being a children’s book, the story is complete and has a happy conclusion where he finds his duffle. Mr. Kerfuffle Lost His Duffle is a lighthearted story with a message woven into a delightful mystery.

A Journey Down Under: Review Rating 5 Stars
I’m sure we’ve all heard about kangaroos. But have you ever seen or heard of a Tasmanian devil? Do you know where you can find one? R.W. Starr’s A Journey Down Under will tell you about the Tasmanian devil, as well as share some interesting facts. It lives in Australia, the land down under, and one interesting fact is that it stores fat in its tail! There’s also the kookaburra, the largest member of the kingfisher family, even though it rarely eats fish, but it does have a funny laugh. Did you know that it’s often called the bushman’s clock? And there’s the emu that runs very fast on its long legs. There are a lot of fascinating animals unique to Australia and so many interesting facts that will capture your attention.
R.W. Starr’s picture book, A Journey Down Under: Some of Australia’s Amazing Creatures, is an engaging and informative look at the animal kingdom of Australia. Told in rhyming verse, each animal is also accompanied by a short fact sheet and subtle, but colorful illustrations by Marta Maszkiewicz. The language is simple to help young readers expand their reading vocabulary. At the end of the book is an interesting note on the aboriginal people of Australia as well as a brief description of marsupials. This is a remarkable book. For those young readers who may never have the chance to visit this enchanting continent, this book will enthrall their explorative natures and inspire them to look more closely at the animal kingdom wherever they are, wherever they go.
