Allergic to Camping, Hiking, and Other Natural Disasters by Lenore Look

2.0

I want to like Alvin Ho, I really do... But I've come across a few lines just make the author seem a tiny bit racist (I think each instance was food related, but I didn't note them other than thinkingl "Oh, that's not exactly PC, is it?). And Alvin as a whole just isn't a really believable character or situation. He's also very repetitive (we get it, Alvin...you like it when your Dad calls you "son"...you only say it like six times every book). The only thing I don't have any complaints about are the illustrations by LeUyen Pham. I love her depictions of Flea and Dad in particular. Dad just seems like he was inspired by vintage Superman line-art and I love it. Otherwise: not my cup of tea, really.
