There was a pandemic in early 2020, and the coronavirus manifested and spread from person to person. Many people were infected with this virus, which resulted in death in severe cases. The government issued precautions and asked us to stay indoors for a while.

Months passed before we could finally go outside, but we had to wear gloves and face masks for our safety. Unique creatures in the animal kingdom miss their human friends, and to play with them, they must travel to an imaginative realm known as the Philosophical Farm. The book Fantasy Friends on Furlough in a Putrid Pandemic by Alexandra DeHaven is a book that tells short stories about the pandemic.

I liked this book because it contains a lot of information for a children's book and would significantly impact kids positively. The use of rhymes was also unique, and young children may develop an interest in writing due to this. The book was also colorful; children will enjoy these beautiful pictures and could learn to draw from them.

Alexandra was able to convey the message about the pandemic in the book because all of the characters wore masks. The book has a lot of hidden moral lessons; to understand them, you'll need to take a deep breath first. One of these hidden lessons is that you should treat people with respect and care, regardless of who they are or their origin.

I rate this book 5 out of 5 stars because I have no reason to dislike it. I recommend this book to kids between the ages of seven and twelve because the lessons contained in the book would be hard to understand for younger kids. While reading this book, I found a few errors, which shows that Fantasy Friends on Furlough in a Putrid Pandemic by Alexandra DeHaven was professionally edited.
