Gorgeous artwork, but a bit too lacking in any nuance for me. I know it's for children, but still. That said, the story is a good conversation starter for the right readers.

Fire Escape: How Animals and Plants Survive Wildfires

DID NOT FINISH: 30%

written very drily, unfortunately. 

So fun! The chapters are nice and short, no scene lags, characters feel a bit simple but real with flaws and peculiarities. I'm a little annoyed not to have more world-building revealed by the end, but intrigued as well.
