The Cloud Lasso
The Cloud Lasso is written by Eden Jones and my question is 'Who would like to have a cloud for a friend? This is a children's picture book about a little monster named 'Little Monster'. This is a story that is all about keeping and making new friends and finding an interest from arts and crafts to sports to dancing. Little Monster has a decision to make. The artwork is quite whimsical in nature and if you would look closer it would seem like they were painted on canvas for you can see brushstrokes. This is a great beginning reader for the typeface is large and a lot of repetition of a certain phrase.

The Hooded Sweefa
The Hooded Sweefa is written by A.M. Seifried and is a children's picture book that is about imagination. The characters of Sweefa and Nessa are suppose to have jobs of doing away with evil and bringing love to all good and bad. This is a story that sweet but a bit of sour. To me it is like a beginning mystery for very young readers for Sweefa and Nessa must figure our what Frakin wants all the nuts. The term 'justice' is introduced to readers.
