It begins with one character, who may mention something about another, leading
to another point of view. They tell us about their adventures on the road, at
camp, in the kitchen and in the process of preparing a class play.
The text used is in a handwriting style, showing each character’s opinion. The illustrations are interesting, and all of the
characters are in each picture so we can see what they are doing.
This picture
book is quite long but there was never a boring moment because the reader’s
attention was kept throughout the whole book by using bright and colourful
illustrations.
All the characters are unique and unusual, not generally
your average child. They have a large variety of opinions and speak in a very
opinionated way, whether it be about people they like or people they don’t
like.
I highly recommend this book because it is interesting and
exciting. I would rate this book 8/10 because it is original and humorous.
