A review by annsantori
Swarm of Bees by Lemony Snicket
3.0
Judging this book just by itself and not by the absurdity that is Handler still being allowed to write and publish books to great monetary benefit . . .
The illustrations by Rilla Alexander are unique and beautifully done (very retro, very wood-cut/lino style, achieved partially with the use of actual rubber stamps!) and the story has the feel of a cumulative folk-tale with just a touch of social-emotional skill building. Not WONDERFUL, but not as bad as many reviews are making it seem.
