Millie Fierce Sleeps Out
Written by Jane Manning
If you have never had the pleasure of reading a Millie Fierce story to your child, then you need to grab this book for your young one right away. Millie Fierce is a force to be reckoned with. She battles her temper and learns to control it through a variety of adventures. If you have a beautifully stubborn fierce little one, then this is the book to read. This episode has Millie Fierce having a sleepover in a tent with her two best friends.
They pack the essentials, gummy worms, s’mores, and flashlights and set up their tent at the back of the yard, when…suddenly…a monster is heard outside the tent….Millie Fierce battles her fierceness and tries not to lose her cool. She learns that there is a time and a use for fierceness as she deals with the monster and saves the campout.
Each page is wonderfully illustrated with brightly pigmented drawings of the adventures and conflicts Millie faces in learning to control her temper. The illustrations employ unique use of colour and movement so that they seem to be alive as Millie jumps on the couch or runs after the monster, or tackles her temper when her friend eats the last s’more. Your child will feel like they have met a part of themselves while reading this book. We all have a Millie Fierce inside of us….don’t we?
