Matthew Hawkey's The Intangible Tangerine is a children's book about a mystical forest realm. Phil the bear has recently emerged from hibernation. On his way to locate food after a long rest, he encounters a kangaroo who is also searching for food. However, they cannot seem to locate sustenance for their rumbling stomachs. Tolen the kangaroo stated that Bob the rhinoceros is waiting for him to locate food and that he should join him. When they were five animals, they discovered a magical fruit called "The Intangible Tangerine" and that they needed to use it to revive the forest. However, a shadowy presence loomed over the domain. Who will rescue them?

The illustrations feature more natural colours and are certain to captivate a child's interest. The illustrations accurately depict what is happening on the pages, and the writing style is clear and appropriate for the intended audience. The book also covers topics such as kindness, friendship, trust, and teamwork.

I enjoyed the narrative, but the beginning became quite tedious. As soon as the fruit appeared, I became more interested in the story. I believe that children will also appreciate the illustrations immensely. I also relished the story and appreciated how it taught the reader how to work together. This book will most likely expand the reader's imagination regarding the forest domain.

I give this book 5 out of 5 stars because the story is original, and although the start was a bit tense, it did improve later on. I admired the illustrations, the lesson about friends working together, and the author's closing message. I discovered only one error and believe the book has been edited professionally.

I believe children between the ages of 8 and 12 will appreciate the level of detail in this book. Particularly if they are fond of magic, animals, and forests.
