I was intrigued when I stumbled upon a all ages book by Gilbert Hernandez and as a big fan of both Gilbert and Jaime Hernandez I had to check it out. It's not nearly as enjoyable as their books for adults but that doesn't mean it's a bad book. A few parts of the book are cute and/or interesting surreal and it was great to see Luba's sisters and nieces but other than that, the book was just okay. I don't know if it would really appeal to a younger audience and it just doesn't have the punch of Hernandez's work that's aimed for an older audience.
