A review by jonireads
Almost a Full Moon by Hawksley Workman
2.0
I received this book from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.
Truth be told I really wasn't a fan of this book and it didn't hold my children's attention at all. I had very high hopes for it because the cover is just beautiful.
A few things just didn't work for me. The book seemed to be more about making soup because the weather was getting cold than it was about the full moon. It just didn't make sense to me and what kid wants to read about soup? The second thing that bothers me is that there was really no flow to the words. I like children's books that just flow off the tongue. They don't have to rhyme but I like when they have a cadence or rhythm to them and this book totally lacked it.
I'm definitely disappointed because I really wanted to love this book but unfortunately it was a no go.
