Review:
I love this book. Though I will say that the illustrations are better than the writing. Castle’s use of color and contrast is phenomenal! The characters are all adorable and I love the premise of the story!
As for the writing, it’s secondary. It’s obvious that more attention was given to the illustrations than the cadence and rhythm of the story, the story therefore becomes a bit repetitive. I would love to have more synonyms for ‘team’ and others so that when I do read this to children it also expands their vocabulary and use of words.
Still a great book to share, since it has such great representations!
