What a beautifully illustrated book! The art was amazing! The story was also very good. I was not as emotionally catch by it as I thought I would but a story worth telling and worth reading! A good book!

2,5/5. I really like the artworks in this one. It was colorful and very warm! Unfortunately the story let me down a bit, I didn’t really get the point, it seems to me like it was just going nowhere. A cut ride but nothing more.

Little book about animal and humans and how they like to play, but also what playing help them develop. The art was interesting, there was good facts about animals, and presenting the utility of playing, mostly physically, can be useful to bring how a tablet/computer can develop those things and why it's so important to play in the old school way!

Reminded me a bit of the Little People Big Dream collection. A short story/biography about a not so well know person but that still deserved to be noticed for her inspiring path.

This was quite fun. I remind me a bit of Catana works. Shorts one page strip of comic that always present the same couple in their days to days love life. What I like with those is to see my wife and I together into those characters, the similarities are always fun and make me smile. Just a feel good little book. Well done!

Another read in this collection/series. I had a better memory of this series. I remember it to be funnier and find this one cute, had some fun, but not necessarily funny. I remind me a bit (not as great but the style) of the Calvin & Hobbes collection, with the relation between the child and his animal friend, the humor style in short cartoon 3/4 cases stories but it don,t have the biting side that Calvin has, might not be acceptable in our modern world anymore. Not bad, but not has great as Calvin for sure!

4,5/5. Still great, but with minor complaints. First one being the facts that they bring a lot of new characters recently, just drop them, not much background or depth, just pilling them up and also they look more and more like Asian classic manga characters and less like Vikings so...They also are more «funny» or using humor, which is okay, but got to be careful not put too much in my opinion. Those characters are still good and fun, but just keep the main focus a bit off in my opinion. Second, and last, there was just two, and I think this one will be okay by the next volume, I miss Thorfinn in action, I want to get back at fighting, and know and respect the struggle to peacefulness and I hope he will reach it eventually, but maybe not that soon in the series... I look like complaining but honestly this is still one of my top manga series. Very entertaining, lot of action, strong story line, good historical background too, just minor minor elements I want to address here. Still highly recommend!

Un exercice de style magistral! Écrire un roman entier sans utiliser la lettre. J’en suis à près d’une quinzaine en seulement trois phrases… Le défi était grand et Perec réussit avec brio. Oui il se permet quelques tricheries grammaticales ici et là et quelques jeux sur la syntaxe, mais rien de trop forcé. C’est donc fabuleux du point de vue du style. Pour ce qui est du roman, de la trame narrative, c’est plus laborieux, la façon dont c’est écrit rend le tout difficile à suivre par moment, on sent que le style prime sur l’histoire et on se retrouve avec une histoire un peu décousue, qui erre ici et là, mais qui offre tout de même une part de mystère et une certaine intrigue, les personnages étaient plus faibles, et la faiblesse du livre à mon avis. En terminant, j’ai beaucoup aimé que l’auteur inclue la disparition de la lettre E dans le roman. Le roman s’appelle la disparition, car des personnages disparaissent, mais aussi parce qu’à plusieurs reprises, les personnages sont conscients que quelque chose manque à leur monde, que quelque chose a disparu. Par exemple, à un moment, un personnage est dans un bar et veut commander un porto flip (drink contenant alcool, mais aussi un œuf) et le barman ne sait aucunement de quoi il parle et ne peut lui en servir un, car pas de E, pas d’œuf. C’est clin d’œil sont fréquents bien faits, subtils et très intéressants. Vaut la peine d’être lu, une expérience littéraire en soi.

A well done ABC book with each letters presenting the name of a job, and some original one not just every jobs every children already knows about, and also a brief sentences explaining what this job is about. Simple but original and perfectly done so that's a win!

A picture book that try to talk about diversity but did it in what seem to me like a strange way. Yeah I understand it try to reach very young children so it adapted its content but there is so much to say about this subject without falling into human that have skin red or violet…
