Book Reviews of Thrump-O-Moto
Book Review: A richly illustrated, magnificent fantasy for all ages..
Summary: 5 Stars
Clavell's Thrump-O-Moto is nothing short of a literary
masterpiece. This fantasy begins with a lazy rural
afternoon and leaps across continents and through time
warps with a most informal and personal accessibility.
The possibilities of friendship, the comparison of cultures,
and the thrill of adventure all contribute to create a
most fantastic story. The illustrations supplement the
flowing text like frosting on an already luscious cake.
Clavell's marriage of detail and whimsy make for characters
and places with an endearing, enduring reality all their own.
Ideal for preschool and young elementary children,
Thrump-O-Moto may require a few laptimes for tots with short
attention spans; but don't be surprised if when you finally
reach the end, you are asked to begin the adventure all over
again!
