Like the previous installment, this new adventure from the Cardboard Kingdom has more of a running narrative instead of the collected vignettes of the first volume, but I think it's much better paced in this one. Everyone gets a little time to shine along with some new characters and the many intersecting plots within have some room to breathe. I love the constant themes of fostering inclusion, developing confidence, expressing yourself, and building an accepting community of play within this series. There is so much heart and creativity here that feels nostalgic to older readers and inspiration towards the younger. A must read for all comic lovers!
