This picture book was a fun read with such vibrant and detailed illustrations that would make it excellent for reading again and again. I thought Stefan was quick to forget how he had been mistreated by the others at the hotel, but was glad that in the end his forgiveness and kindness were appreciated rather than taken advantage of.

As if Wes Anderson decided to create a picture book. Wonderful, my kids and I both loved searching for the mouse and cat in each picture and continually trying to pronounce profiterole correctly. The detailed illustrations of guests and the hotel itself made it a really magical story to read.

I read this book for free thanks to NetGalley in exchange for my honest feedback. This beautifully illustrated children's story is a great tale of a wanna be chef giving dreams of rising above others expectations of him, and pricing himself to the most difficult judges. I look forward to reading this story again with a class.

Lovely illustrations and enjoyable story. A book to engage a variety of ages. I can easily see myself reading it aloud to a class, with plenty of opportunities for questions and predictions.

Stefan makes everything run at The Incredible Hotel as the kitchen porter. However, he dreams of being a baker and not just a porter.

This is an adorable story of following your dreams and working hard.

The illustrations are beautiful and it was fun to find the cat and mouse on each page.

I love the message and this is a great interactive read a loud book for kids. Pair it with a baking project!

This book was so adorable, I loved everything about it, the illustrations were so well done, they suited the book perfectly, the story was amazing as well, even thought is very short I could really connect with the characters and feel theirs struggles.
I’m sure the kids are going to be just as enthralled with this amazing book as I was.
I will definitely recommend!

Sweet story about the Incredible Hotel's young kitchen porter whose dream of becoming a chef seems out of his reach until a fire in the kitchen gives him the chance to save the day and make his dream come true. Water color and pencil illustrations
are integral to telling the story of on young chef's impressive profiterole. This will appeal to children in many ways. Historically, the Profiterole was brought to France from Italy by Catherine De Medici when she married the King of France, King Henry II. Recipes for the creme puff could be compared. Hotel management and the workers needed could be studied. I highly recommend The Incredible Hotel.
Thank you to Frances Lincoln Children's Books, an imprint of The Quarto Group, and Netgalley for the digital arc.

I love books where the setting is in hotels, I love discovering more about the people staying or working in them, the little mysteries and adventures, it reminds me when I used to watch Eloise at the Plaza, I used to love those movies/books when I was a kid, The Incredible Hotel brought me back all those nice feelings.

The illustrations were so nicely done, there’s so many details in every single page it’s impossible to go through them without first analyzing every little detail.

I really loved everything about The Incredible Hotel and I’m sure all the kids reading this book will as well.

5 ⭐️

A very cute story and the illustrations are marvelous. This story does a wonderful job of portraying that everyone, no matter their position, is important and that hard work can lead to great opportunities.

I also appreciate that there was a redemption arc for a character that acted out under extreme stress and that they were later able to make amends for their actions. In children's books, there doesn’t seem to be a lot of thought for redemption for secondary characters. This book not only allowed for the character’s redemption arc, but tied the redemption into an accomplishment for the main character.

Would recommend.

THE INCREDIBLE HOTEL has a beautiful setting and the illustrations draw you into the story and characters immediately. I felt like the side characters could have had a better development so the plot resolution would have had more of an impact. Overall the perfect illustrations kept me interested!

This book has a subtle message that we should not deter others from showcasing their talents! We should also ensure that we are being kind to others and not put them down, as it can hurt their feelings. This book was cute. It also showed that one piece to a puzzle goes missing, and an entire day can then be off the rails! The illustrations were beautiful, the characters were engaging, and the wording was lovely. Would absolutely recommend this book to others to show what an impact one person can have on everyone around them (good or bad).

I received an electronic ARC from Quarto Publishing Group – Frances Lincoln Children's Books through NetGalley.
Davies reminds readers to believe in themselves even when others don't. Stefan is the kitchen porter at this hotel and works long hours. He wants to be a chef but the hotel chef belittles him and tells him he will never be anything but a porter. No one realizes how important he is until he leaves. The day of a major visit from the duchess does not begin smoothly as no one made the coffee to wake the chef to cook the breakfast to give to the butler to wake the manager... The disaster is compounded with a fire and a duchess determined to shut them down. However, Stefan hears of the problem and returns with the stupendous profiterole tower he worked through the night to make. Everyone realizes how important he is to their hotel "family" and he becomes the pastry chef. A lovely message to seek your dreams and keep trying.
The illustrations are delightful and full of details to support the story. be sure to take time to look closely at them.

LOVE LOVE LOVE!! This is such an adorable book! Great story, beautifully illustrated and written! This book talks about being mean to someone and putting others down and what consequences can occur when we do so. I love how at the end the chef sees how she was rude and tries to make it right. Very sweet book.

Children’s book about a beautiful hotel, the people that stay there, the people that live there and the people work there. Everything runs smoothly thanks to the great Stefan that is a jack of all traits.

This was so heartwarming! It inspired you to pursue your dreams with determination. The art style is also very gorgeous. I'll definitely read it again later.

Thank you to Netgalley and Quarto Publishing Group – Frances Lincoln Children's Books for the arc.

The Incredible Hotel was a quick and enjoyable read about never giving up on your dreams. The illustrations were beautiful and I loved the storyline so much that I have already started to recommend this book to all my friends and family.

A truly amazing and beautiful book.
This is so inspiring for kids and the artwork is so wonderful.
Thank you Netgalley for the ARC

I picked this up because I loved the cover. And the art style was so good through all of the book. I loved the story and how it shows to never give up on your dreams. I will definitely buy this to read to my kids at the school where I work. I think it is an easy read to practice our English but it has really important lessons we can discuss after.

"The Incredible Hotel" is a captivating story set in the enchanting city of Delaunay. It follows Stefan, a kitchen porter with dreams of becoming a chef. When a fire breaks out during the Grand Ball, Stefan must save the day. The book's vivid descriptions bring Delaunay to life, and Stefan's determination and quick thinking make him a likable protagonist. While some secondary characters could have been further developed, the story's pacing and positive message about following one's dreams make it an enjoyable read for all ages.
(thank you for the arc Netgalley)

What a beautiful book !!!

I read this with my youngest daughter who is 4 this morning, and we have read it 3 times since ! A lovely story about following your dreams and helping others even when they haven’t been very nice.

The illustrations have just beautiful detail, the cakes look good enough to eat and we wish this hotel existed is real life.

I will definitely be buying this book for her book shelf so we can keep on enjoying this story and she has added it to her favourite books off the year ☺️ for now she is in her kitchen becoming a pastry chef making me lots of cakes to try ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
