Adventures with Waffles

De: Maria Parr, Guy Puzey - translator, Kate Forrester - illustrator

Narrado por: Luke Daniels

Lena is Trille's best friend, even if she is a girl. And there is never an ordinary day when you've got a best friend like Lena.

Hardly a day passes without Trille and Lena inventing some kind of adventure that often ends in trouble. Whether it's coaxing a cow onto a boat or tobogganing down the steepest and iciest hill with a chicken, there is always a thrill - and sometimes an injury - to be had. Trille loves to share everything with Lena, even Auntie Granny's waffles, which make everything just perfect. But when Lena has to move away, and Auntie Granny leaves the world, it sometimes seems nothing will ever be right again.

The warmth of friendship and the support of family suffuses this novel, proving that when times are tough, a little taste of sweetness can make all the difference.

We love it

Our family listened to this together at night before bed and we often were laughing along with the stories or moved in our souls with compassion. It’s very cute!!

Short and Sweet

I wasnt sure what to expect when I saw that the book was very short in length. I enjoyed the short and sweet story about family, friendship and waffles!

Best read aloud this year!

We couldn’t help but laugh the whole time! Great read for our family and made my too cool middle schooler laugh so hard.

Great book

My kids and I loved listening to this book. We have read it before but I don't remember being so amused. lol.

Love it 😍

I loved this book I was also sad when it ended but I found a sequel “Lena the sea and me” it was not as good as the original. Also I like how the kids are such opposites but there friendship is beautifully hilarious.
