:techie-reference: :techie-reference: :techie-reference: :techie-reference: I thoroughly enjoyed Sock Sloth and the Lunar Blades. The story is about an unlikely group of heroes: a sloth with striped socks (my favourite kind), a hungry panda and his grandpa panda, and an RPG (Rocket Pig Grenade) who need to stop a thiefing Walrus from ending the world as they know it. The story has many plot twists. The ending especially one I didn't ever imagine. The plot and story is very well written and told. I really enjoyed it and think my kids would too. It's a good story for kids between six and nine. Congrats to the author for Suh a well written story.

The book seems to offer a great and interesting adventure to entertain children and teach them something good at the same time, but unfortunately, my own children are already too grown up to still enjoy it and, therefore, I have no use for it. Anyway, I wish the author good luck and congratulate with BOTD!

This adorable children's book teaches kids that mistakes happen and that what counts most is what we do afterward. Because of the plot and tension, this book is a great way to inspire and cultivate readers.

“Sock Sloth and the Lunar Blades” by J.W.B. Rowley is mystery story about the disappearance of the Lunar Blades. If the blades are in the hands of the wrong people, there is no place on Earth that one can go to avoid the destruction. Wacky Bottomsmirk is the main suspect in the theft of these powerful blades. Wacky has an army of iguanas that he believes makes him invincible, so Sock and Rick will have to fight hard to recover these world-wide weapons of destruction. Wacky is very sly, so be prepared for the unexpected and children will learn the importance of foresight, discipline and outstanding tactics. This is an action-packed children’s book that I look forward to reading to my three great-grandsons. I know that they will love, as I do, the name of Sock’s and Rick’s Super Awesome Dudes Crime Fighting Agency and the power of a bag of bamboo.

It's funny how this is a children's book but I don't even know what a lunar blade is. I have to search this up to get a hint about it and it's connection to the eclipse. Congratulations on winning BOTD.

From the above, the importance of foresight, precision, discipline, and superior tactics is highlighted and demonstrated. These should be of great help to children as they grow up and navigate the complex realities of our modern society. It should also help them understand the concept of success and failure and recognize that while it's commendable to achieve success, it's more noble to sustain it. Otherwise, the adversities of life will always find a way to wriggle out and strike back fiercer.
- Therefore its also important not to be afraid of failure, because you learn from your mistakes. Don't make them on purpose but if they do happen, learn from them. Its a good idea to teach these concepts from a small age as they will grow up better adults and citizens of their country. A commendable review, thank you.

A very intriguing story. Although a children's book, it is full of suspense and interesting twist of events. The author made emphasis on the importance of accuracy and precision in achieving a goal. The villain, Wacky Bottomsmirk is s very important character. Grab a copy of the book to join the interesting ride.
