The Tale of Angelino Brown by David Almond
MY RATING: 4 of 5 stars
The Tale of Angelino Brown is a charming middle-grade book that narrates about how a little angel just suddenly appeared in the lives of the Browns and of the people of St. Mungo’s School. Although it is meant for children aged 12 and below, I found myself engrossed in the story and on the characters. Angelino is a little darling; hence a lot of people were immediately drawn to him. However, the unexpected appearance of that tiny angel has also caught the attention of those who have wicked plans to capture him.
This children’s book will enchant kids as well as older readers because of its fascinating and endearing story — it is a delightful and short read with moral lessons about friendship, forgiveness, and kindness that kids will learn after reading.
