Precious Little by Sue Moss, Julie Hunt, Gaye Chapman

pwbalto's review against another edition

5.0

The book really does look like some people I know - people with tiger lilies tattoed on their shoulders, people whose dreadlocks are dotted with spangly beads and plastic flowers or whose 40's coif is always just-so. Precious Little's outfit of footless striped tights and tattered ombre-dyed chiffon skirt, arm warmers and a tube top - well let's just say I've seen that outfit in person, and Precious wears it better than most.

pluralise's review against another edition

2.0

Decided meh. Might be good for a kid who's just been to a circus, but seriously WTF is a lucky dip. I didn't really get the point of the story, and it might be hard to read aloud because the text orientation keeps changing. Super detailed art, though, which was cool.

The spectacularly sparkly cover is an instant drawcard. Precious LIttle wants to be an acrobat / trapeze artist, but she is only a stagehand. Given the chance, she accepts Risk in order to achieve her dream. The tyography and layout follow the action and illustrations - but sometimes are just slightly off, not quite in the lines as it were - which is disconcerting. And, although it emphasises the movement of the characters and story, having the direction of the text change - sideways, upside down - makes it very trick to read to a group.
