Today’s book review is coming to you from Policeman’s
Waterhole, which is basically an oasis in the middle of the desert! It is a
totally gorgeous spot with lots of shady trees, and a large area which, at this
particular time of the year, is relatively full of water. The boys have had a
wonderful time splashing, and I have even managed quite a bit of reading.
Bonus!
Omar The Strongman is a delightful story about a man named
Omar who is new in town. He goes to the local circus looking for a job and
becomes the odd jobs man, which sees him doing anything and everything. He is
flat out working every day, but he stops to have his lunch and watch the stars
practice their performances, dreaming of starring in the circus himself. After
an incident on centre stage, he just might get his wish!
Written and illustrated by Kate Greenaway Medal winner
Gregory Rogers, this lovely story shows children that dreams really can come
true.
