Ilustration Concering Books The First Adventure (Tumtum and Nutmeg #1)
I really loved the way this book started out, and enjoyed the author's use of language, but for some reason I felt let down when it came to the battle against Aunt Ivy, or the Charge of the Bright Brigade as it was known in the story. Too much military jargon for my liking, and it was an unfamiliar theme for my 6 year old. I don't mind explaining words to her, but when I suddenly had to define the words General, rifle, gas attack, war zone, hand grenades, repel, ammunition, machine gun, strategy, siege, Colonel, tactics, reconnaissance, platoon, Brigadier, troops, maim, retreat, Lieutenant, barricades... Well, it just wasn't enjoyable anymore. I didn't mind the battle itself, just not the couple of chapters leading up to it. I might still seek out the further adventures of Tumtum and Nutmeg.

Sweet, creative, and charming.Cutest little story that Ember loved immensely. Very British. Two little, middle aged mice have an adventure involving children, nasty Aunt Ivy, rat poison and a heroic battle. We cant wait to read the next installment.
I really enjoyed this sweet children's story. I listened to the audio version, which is very well done, but I was a bit annoyed at how soft it was--I could only hear it with a speaker connected. My daughter recently picked up the actual books and started reading them, and loved them, and she read a section to me, in which I was impressed with some of the vocabulary. I was tempted to give it 5 stars, but I wasn't entirely happy with the aunt theme, and scaring her to death. She deserved it, but

I love Tumtum and Nutmeg's adventures! They make me sit on the edge of my seat, thinking of what will happen next, and it is simply amazing. The descriptions are good too, because they make me feel what the character is feeling. I recommend this book to readers from 4th to 6th grade.
We LOVED this book. It was so funny and the girls and I had a great time reading it. I wish Tumtum and Nutmeg lived in our house and took care of us! I highly recommend this book.
I read this and some of the books in the series when I was eight, and it STILL STANDS OUT in my mind. I remember it quite fondly. I loved these books when I was younger, but later, I could never remember the name of the series until I came across the book in a library bookstore and instantly recognized it. I would highly recommend it to children.
