One-By:Kathryn Otoshi


I thought this book had a great moral story about bullying and it would be great to read with little kids to help teach color and number recognition, but I thought that the illustrations were very bland and boring and consisted of a lot of paint blotches. I think there would be a lot more interesting ways she could have done the illustrations. I liked how the text was emphasised through out the book. The colors were bold and typed in the color that was personified and size was emphasised with the font size bigger and smaller. I don't see this book being checked out very often by children because there aren't any pictures in it (just blotches and numbers) and the cover is very plain and no matter what others say...I definitely believe that children judge books by the cover.
