Nobody likes a lackluster review, either.
I don't understand this book. It's clearly a picture book, but it seems more aimed at adults who are into Dungeons and Dragons or related games or video games. I don't think most children would get it.
Everybody deserves friends.
I needed this book about as much as a hole in the... book.
The general concept is interesting but they didn't do anything interesting with it. There are interesting ways of using a book that was made in this way but this book does not work that way, and frankly I'm disappointed by it.
Stop reading and look at the world around you instead? Or, the world around you is interesting.
Please, stop. Just stop.
It just irritates me. It's an irritating book. It's definitely not "good", but I'm not sure it's a "bad" book: it doesn't try to communicate a bad message. It's just profoundly irritating. So I guess it goes into the mediocre category. I certainly wouldn't read this because it would drive me crazy, but if somebody else is able to ignore that, it's not a terrible message.
Always say please after every request.
Not sure what this one is trying to say.
Honestly, I don't find them very cute. I do like the inclusion of the relatively realistic looking construction equipment, but I was kind of disappointed by this book. I hoped that it would be more interesting than this, and the heavy machinery just kind of comes out of nowhere.
Don't be mean.
Boring, boring penguins. What are they snoozing?
I think you kind of have to be a penguin fan going into this. Obviously the syntax is very simple. Every page has exactly two words on it. There's no real information about penguins. There's nothing in here about what they eat, how they raise their young, or the fact that they can't fly or anything like that.
Penguins do lots of things.
BUURP
It's weird. It's silly. It's got one gimmick to it, and it does it well, but it's still just one gimmick.
None.
The umbrella is the last component of the ghastly ritual.
Every time you can see her face, pretty much all you can see is these solid black eyes, with a little bit of eyelash at the edge. Like this girl has been possessed by demons. I just do not care for the art style of this artist, and the story uses far too many words to tell this completely trivial story.
Umbrellas can only be used on rainy days. Or, umbrellas are awesome.
Anti-toad propaganda.
It's not very educational. It's not a very long story. It's just too simplistic. Most of it is pretty boring and mundane.
Some toads taste disgusting.
Take a walk on the wild side.
Maybe there's some kind of metaphor here about cultural assimilation? It's really hard to tell what this author was intending exactly. The only information we get about her in the back of the book is that it's her first book and that she was born in Hawaii. It is pretty, though.
Wild creatures should be left in the wild.
Enough bullheads.
Here's the bullheads in spring. Here's the bullheads in summer. Here they are in autumn. Enough. Enough stupid fish. I don't care about the stupid fish.
The activities of animals change over the seasons.
