Q Pootle 5: Pootle the Explorer – review and giveaway

We’ve been fans of Q Pootle 5 since way back when – our first encounter was via a library book when Small was actually small 😉 I love Nick Butterworth’s work, the story is straightforward, the illustrations are clear, and above all else, it’s fun. (I particularly love Colin the cat.)

When I heard Q Pootle 5 was coming to television, I was a little nervous. Not all stories make the transition well after all, but I needn’t have worried. The animation is pretty much perfect, so close to the books, and the stories are just as gentle. Hearing that there was another batch of episodes available on DVD was great news, and the little ones love them just as much as the older two loved the book.

(Or indeed as much as they love the book – we’ve continued borrowing it time after time from the library over the years. Not sure why we don’t have our own copy yet!)
