A review by kitsuneheart
Bright Lights and Starry Nights! by Andy Runton
4.0
Owly books are always great picks for children becoming more independent, but aren't yet ready for reading actual words. Runton does a wonderful job of conveying a story in just the pictures, with a little help from some "picture speech," where the animals convey their problems in simple pictograms.
It was particularly interesting to me to see this book as it's the first Owly book I've seen which is done in color. His comic collections are all black-and-white, and, while still good, the addition of color really leaves and impression.
I also loved the bats thing. I know books about how bats are nice are becoming more common, but it still makes me quite happy to find a positive depiction.
Of course, this is all my personal opinion. I'm really unsure how well a child will like this book, so unless they're really into owls, bats, or, I suppose, worms, best to give it a try from the library BEFORE an outright purchase.
