I know I have read one of these books before. I did enjoy the book, loved the illustrations, and found the fun facts entertaining. The story is simple, but the way it's written reminds me of a Saturday morning cartoon. Here the narrator is a character who is constantly talking to you. There is nothing wrong with this style of book, and kids do love it. Just for me, while I like these stories, they will never be award winners. But that is okay, because they are great stories for learning about all the fish in the ocean.
This was an interesting read. It is very comprehensive but still fun. Plus the little info,bits are great. I will forever remember what “pure” is. I love that the book is based on two questions: what is garbage, and what is “away”. The this books sets out to answer those questions. A great book for all library collections.
So I don't normally read this comic, just randomly see it online. I liked reading them complied. You get a feeling of family love in the everyday workings of a dad, his son, and occasionally mom. A fun read.
Small Favors: The Definitive Girly Porno Collection
Colleen Coover, Paul Tobin, Kelly Sue DeConnick
So this is what I get when I don't read book descriptions. Didn't make it farther than a few pages. Apparently this is a porn collection. And it's heavy from the beginning. Just not what I'm in the mood for, Plus there was no build up. Just look, there it is. No thank you.
I liked the idea behind this graphic novel but felt the story moved slow. I started it, but my time ran out before I finished reading. That being said, I didn't care enough about the title to pick up the paper copy and complete it.
So this was a book that others helped me find while I was trying to match a piece of wall art to the story it was based off. We are not quite sure that this is the title, but if it is not it should be. I can see why this book has been republished multiple times. I think it is time to do it again. Give it a new cover using the original art and reprint it again please. This book is about all walks of people. How they are different no matter the reason, that that is okay. At the very end what is really important is that you put love out in the world. Me need more of this. Let’s spread love.
Minnie and Max are OK!: A Story to Help Children Develop a Positive Body Image
Chris Calland, Emmi Smid, Nicky Hutchinson
This is very much a lesson book. The lesson book is that it’s okay to be who you are, and that it is nice that everyone is different. While it’s not pushed at the reader, it’s also about not teasing anyone, because it can hurt their feelings. The illustrations are fun and the book is okay. But the topic has been done better.
This book is near perfect. The illustrations are spot on, and it reads more like a lyrical poem than a typical picture book. I almost want it to be a song, but it is okay that it’s not. It’s a bedtime book, without ever mentioning bedtime. LOVE IT! By the way, my favorite illustration is by far the dragon.
This was an interesting graphic novel. I say interesting because the main character is named Cucumber and his sister is Almond. They are bunnies. Cuco wants to go to school and Almond wants a life of adventure. But Cuco is the boy so he must go out to save his father and their lands from evil doers. But Almond...she persisted...and is a heroine and daredevil for all to enjoy. The illustrations are fun and entertaining. Lots of colors and a softer style of art, but book 1 leaves off on a cliff hanger. Overall an enjoyable read, and now I need to read #2.
Learning to write your name is not easy, especially if it is not spelled as it sounds. While in general I like the story, kids sound out words to learn to write their names, I am disappointed in the further lesson. The teachers let Phoebe write her name as Feeby, even though Phoebe knows it’s wrong. She just assumes her mother was wrong. I think this book would have been much better if their was a lesson on how sometime mixing letters creates new sounds. Because of its oversimplified concept, this boo is a miss for me.
