Riley Finds His Beat by Davina Hamilton

lighthearted medium-paced

I really wanted to like this story. Honestly, the story is pretty good. It has rhyme, it has a rhythm, and the book follows it well. However, it is overly long. The other thing is the illustrations. Illustrations are great, however towards the back of the book and particular ones set of pages. Pages are so colorful and detailed that there was no place to put the words. So they outlined black letters in white. This makes it readable, but also doesn’t look good and doesn’t match the flow of the rest of the book.
