bardicbramley 's review for:
The Big Blue Thing on the Hill
by Yuval Zommer
I put this book on my List as I had read another book by the author that really impressed me, however this one fell flat in my opinion.
The book is sweet and a nice easy read, full of sound and colour and humour. However where I think the book falls short is the moral or rather the entire point of the story. The story follows the forest animals mission to get rid of the big blue thing (a camper van) off of their hill.
Of course they succeed with the help of some smaller animals and bugs, but that is the entire arc. There doesn’t seem to be any kind of gripping point or moral besides the general working together, which isn’t really a main point even so. Of course not all books need a moral, but in my opinion that is what makes a good and enjoyable book: the feeling of understanding and thought that’s comes from the journey of a story.
