This looked perfect for a bedtime read and I thought this would be good. But comparing the moon to anything even if it didn’t make any sense, made me lose a lot of interest in this one. He illustration are beautiful, but a big lack of material in this story...

An informative book that covers evolution in a short and well explain way. Nothing that would make it stands out from the lot, but good enough to make it deserve its place.
I got this one as an ARC and just wanted to mentioned that the page 36/41 from my Ipad count, but more of the 70-71 from the bottom page mark in the book, the pictures does not appear in the yellow circle... Might want to fix it before the official publication!

This collection always delivers big! From previous read they explore, disaster/tragedy, poverty, news, playground, etc. And now they present this book about the body (difference, acceptance, abuse, etc.). What make this book and that collection great is the quality of the information, the actuality of the subject and the way it present/explain it all for kids in the perfect tone, not over dramatizing anything and a the same time addressing the issues. Always a high level of work and edition. Congrats!

3,5/5. I was not captivated as I thought I would be by this book. Those angry/revolt teenagers stories are often too similar to make them noticeable. Nonetheless this one was probably better than the average one. The characters looks real enough and the story, from what I know on the subject without having live it personally, present a realistic vision of a teenagers that slowly get caught into situation that will ends badly. The pattern, the way to get a grip on them is very standard for cult/sect/manipulator and well presented without too many clichés. Not the provocating mind-blowing story I was expecting but like I said better than most similar book. A decent read!

Just awesome! Perfect!

Very casual story of a monster scaring children. I’m not the biggest fan of this presentation (one page all text, one page illustration. Nothing is, but nothing is great either. Simple. Average. It probably already has thousand stories that are more or less exactly like this one out there so...

2,5/5. Hotel Dare is a well illustrated comic book that mixed various elements trying to build an epic storyline. Unfortunately, for me, that didn’t work. The story is okay, not the most original, adapting/playing with elements seen many time (the old house/hotel, the magical doors, other world/plan of existence, etc..) and some part of it remind me a Lock and Key actually but that was the characters that failed this one. I didn’t like them, didn’t feel anything for them, and finally didn’t care much for them. I’ve no doubt that some reader will enjoy this one (it already have some love on Goodreads) but I’m not one of them, having read too many similar thing maybe... Not bad, but not for me!

A little gem right here! Wow! First of all I love the artwork so much!! Beautiful! And I also really like the story, about this little girl finding her passion and enjoying her life through it. Passion are important and kids should explore more and not be afraid of liking what they like. It has also a fun little informative pamphlet at the end on the notion the character talk about in the book. Perfectly done!!

An A to Z (what we French people call an abécédaire) book that present the alphabet through exploring planes and the aviation world. There is also a nice glossary at the end. Simple enough, but if you want to teach the alphabet to your kids and if he loves planes... well go for it!!

2,5/5. Page fitting problem on the kindle, we loose some margin both sides. That being said, a simple but alright story about dog, some sort of metaphor to speak to children, about friendship and being confident. Good message and technically alright but it didn't get to me much...
