sammygee 's review for:

3.0

Reads like a personally guided tour through the influences behind the author/illustrator's work. Each short story is preceded by an author's note which helps the reader appreciate all of the nuances and the characterization at work in the stories.

Highly recommended for fans of the author's work. The content is perfectly fine for middle grade readers, but I think the commentary is something adults will most appreciate so I'd recommend a wide range of appeal for this title, grades 5 and up.
