[Review] The Elemenpals



Title: The Elemenpals
Author: Debi Gregory
Publisher: Moon Books
Publishing Date: February 1st, 2021

Pages: 40


Join the Elemenpals as they learn about our world and those who live here, making new friends and helping each other along the way. 

The Elemenpals are a family of elemental imps who are learning all about Mother Earth and her children so that one day they can be grown up Elements and take care of the Earth. 

They're helped by woodland creatures, older elements and Mother Earth as they discover, play, watch and learn about the world around them. Come and meet the 'Pals!








A big thank you to the publisher for gifting me a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review! I'm always so thankful to have these opportunities! 

This book is short and sweet - perfect for kids of all ages, especially Pagan children. I think that if a child has had previous exposure to the Elements and has been raised with a Pagan faith then this book will make them giddy. 

I'm a WHOLE adult and even I was giddy to have a book about the elements, in adorable characters that make the elements more accessible and relatable. 

Menme, Tanwen, Gwynt, Dylan, and Celyn are the names of these elemen'pals and I love all of them. The illustrations are fantastic and the story itself follows the elemenpals to different characters such as Brother Oak and Sister River, to learn more about the Earth as a whole. 

My favorite bits were learning what each elemenpal loved most about Earth - Dylan loves watching the fish swim, for example. 

Overall this is a very short book, with short sentences and not a ton of substance - which is perfectly ok to me, for what this is. It's a children's primer and intro to the Elements. At the end there's a note from the author on various other activities you can do, and how to keep the lessons going for you and your kiddos. 

Overall 5 Triquetras for this lovely little book!
