An antidote to the toxic attitude toward immigrants of color right now. As if people of Northern European descent somehow have a more valid claim to American citizenship than indigenous people of the continent. It's like demanding that the UK remain for Romans only. Set in 1957 the dresses are sp...
For more reviews, check out my blog: Craft-CycleA surprisingly creative and unique book told entirely in street signs. This rhyming book features a little monkey who steals a banana and all of the chaos that ensues because of one action. Great book for looking at cause and effect. Also interesting l...
Once Upon a Banana is a silly story about a monkey that causes a lot of chaos in one small town. The book has very little text aside from street signs, so the story is very picture heavy. The text that is there received a 1.9 on the Gunning-Fog readability scale and should be easy for first and seco...
A cute book with some really funny illustrations. It describes the Presidents up until George W. Bush. It shows the Presidents in a humorous way. I think that this book could be used to teach students about our past Presidents. And can be used during the elections. I think any age could read this bo...
The Library is simply delightful. Written by Sarah Stewart and illustrated by David Small, it tells the story of a little girl named Elizabeth Brown who was unlike everyone else her age. She was more interested in reading than going to parties. She was fascinated by books instead of boys. She'd pref...
I've just read Stitches by David Small in one sitting. I'm not saying this to brag about my reading speed but more to express how engrossing I found his art and writing. Stitches is a memoir which focuses on an event which no one should ever have had to experience. First, there's the disturbing pict...
I was looking for a graphic novel to complete the requirement for a reading challenge. Being that I have never read one before, I took my time in trying to find one whose story I would read (were it in words), and didn't come across as a comic. For the telling of a memoir, this was very well done. T...
When elite assassin, Jeda DeLongo, fled the Assassin's Guild years earlier, he knew there would be a price to be paid. No one ever left the Guild, but he never imagined his beloved wife and unborn son would pay the price for his betrayal. Now Keisha's life hangs in the balance and the most powerful ...
This is the first time I've read a memoir as a graphic novel and I loved it. David Small did such a beautiful job incorporating the right amount of text/ explanation with the illustrations.
During the first reading I did think Elliot’s father was somewhat distracted by his studies and thought Elliot, although well behaved, was lonely (he would read to his stuffed toys). I did not blame Elliot for “adopting” Magellan; they seemed to belong together. I absolutely liked the surprise end...
