This has a lovely art style-it's so fluid with movement. I suspect it's also better picked up and leafed through randomly rather than read cover to cover. I think it's tricky for me to separate this from the animated short that won the Oscar because that was... not my favorite. It had the lovely art, honestly maybe even more lovely in action, but it was quite a bit longer than I needed. Also, I'm still bitter that My Year of Dicks didn't win because as a teen librarian it was far and away my favorite. ANYWAY that has very little to do with this book, so plz ignore and pick this up if you'd like a small cozy self-help type read. I love the mole.
