The cover alone is eye appealing and wonderful. The illustrations within the pages are on par with the text on the pages. It all blends together in a flawless story. <\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/scontent-dfw5-2.xx.fbcdn.net\/v\/t1.0-9\/52075975_2248065648815249_8445879043840016384_n.jpg?_nc_cat=108&#038;_nc_ht=scontent-dfw5-2.xx&#038;oh=375ede824b1b54cd7ec2ed449698216a&#038;oe=5CF06A99\" width=\"250\" height=\"250\" class=\"aligncenter size-full\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The first thing I like about this book is that it is written in a dialogue fashion. I always enjoy books that help to introduce young children into the graphic novel\/comic book world. This book helps to do that an so much more. <\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/scontent-dfw5-2.xx.fbcdn.net\/v\/t1.0-9\/52543548_2248065702148577_4839784404303740928_n.jpg?_nc_cat=111&#038;_nc_ht=scontent-dfw5-2.xx&#038;oh=11cd332c742644cdbeee99f77b49383f&#038;oe=5CF4F5F1\" width=\"250\" height=\"250\" class=\"aligncenter size-full\" \/><\/p>\n<p>I also like that the hero of the story is a girl. Seeing as I am the mother of two small girls I find that this is a story they will be able to relate to in the future. However, right now it just makes a nice little story for story time. <\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/scontent-dfw5-2.xx.fbcdn.net\/v\/t1.0-9\/52156687_2248065745481906_8895473901102956544_n.jpg?_nc_cat=107&#038;_nc_ht=scontent-dfw5-2.xx&#038;oh=f58fec6e11a0cb16a273fe77d92a9c5c&#038;oe=5CECD834\" width=\"250\" height=\"250\" class=\"aligncenter size-full\" \/><\/p>\n<p>I also like how it helps to show children essentially how to write a story. How you start with a beginning and an end and then add in more things as you go. It helps to show children how to build a nice story foundation. <\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/scontent-dfw5-2.xx.fbcdn.net\/v\/t1.0-9\/52901614_2248065802148567_7171705999672213504_n.jpg?_nc_cat=109&#038;_nc_ht=scontent-dfw5-2.xx&#038;oh=101f9314d0bc6cde5dc7f1b28b22f36f&#038;oe=5CEB98F4\" width=\"250\" height=\"250\" class=\"aligncenter size-full\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Lastly I like how funny this book turned out to be. As I was reading it with my two year old, I couldn&#8217;t help but giggle at some of the content. It&#8217;s a very fun book that I enjoyed sharing with my daughter. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Final Conclusion:<\/strong> 5 Star Rating. <\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.zapkodemarie.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/signature-300x114.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"114\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-9555\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.zapkodemarie.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/signature-300x114.png 300w, http:\/\/www.zapkodemarie.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/signature.png 329w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>{Synopsis} \u2013 &#8220;Once upon a time,&#8221; begins the big blue monster who is trying to&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":9542,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[198,289],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-6909","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-book-review","category-new-release"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.zapkodemarie.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6909","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.zapkodemarie.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.zapkodemarie.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.zapkodemarie.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.zapkodemarie.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=6909"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"http:\/\/www.zapkodemarie.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6909\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":10350,"href":"http:\/\/www.zapkodemarie.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6909\/revisions\/10350"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.zapkodemarie.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/9542"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.zapkodemarie.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=6909"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.zapkodemarie.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=6909"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.zapkodemarie.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=6909"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
