Six-year-old Isabelle doesn’t have any brothers or sisters. But she does have her dad, her cat Steve, her friend Harry B, and her baby cousin, Bibi, who she’s very good at looking after. And then along comes Isobel, a new girl at school. They have the same name, but will they be friends?

Four gentle stories in one volume, all about Isabelle and her world, its trials and triumphs, its small moments and big dramas: friends, family, school life and growing up, from Jane Godwin, one of Australia’s respected writers for children, and with delightful illustrations by Robin Cowcher.

Book Review

The Isabelle Stories: Volume 1: Izzy and Belle
by Jane Godwin & Robin Cowcher (illus.)

by Athina Clarke, Feb 2023

Isabelle is an observant, thoughtful and persistent child who lives with her Dad and Steve the cat. When she’s not caring for her baby cousin Bibi, Isabelle navigates the little life challenges that can seem monumental to a six-year-old.

When a new girl with (almost) the same name arrives at school, it poses a potential identity crisis. But Isabelle helps Isobel adjust to her new surroundings and lays the foundation for a wonderful new friendship.

This first book in a new series by renowned children’s book author Jane Godwin has four completely relatable, heart-warming, and gentle stories that independent readers will love. The chapters are satisfyingly short and the many illustrations are simply delightful. Readers of the Billie B Brown and Hey Jack! stories are in for a treat as they continue their reading odyssey with Izzy and Belle. Highly recommended for ages 7+.
