The Clever Stick by John Lechner was beautifully illustrated and cleverly written. It was all about creativity and being who you are and loving it.
I especially love picture books that have a great message behind the simple text. This was one we loved.This other book looked fun on the outside, but showed us that you cannot judge a book by it's cover...ever.
The story was dull and aside from one or two funny pictures it's not one of our favourites. 
I am always reluctant to say things like that about a book. It takes the author so long to write and obviously they used a lot of their creative juices to write it....so I say good work on writing and publishing a book.....but it just wasn't one that will join our bookshelf.Books are lovely. We are definitely book people in this house.

Mmm, I miss library books. You get to read as many as you want and there's room on your shelves for the really good tried and true ones. I definitely like the look of the first one!
