monarchbooks 's review for:

A Tale Tale by Scott Sollers
3.0
lighthearted fast-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Plot
Strong character development: No
Loveable characters: No
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Complicated

While this book has an interesting thing to say about class and possibly slavery, I don't thing the message was clear and could be muddled in children's minds. Why did they only find they had enough space for the Have Nots when the creatures who did their chores were gone? The artwork was beautiful, but unfortunately I would not consider reading this to students. 

Thank you to NetGalley, IBPA, and Scott Sollers for allowing me to read this book in exchange for an honest review (Unpaid).
