Review # 1 was written on 2014-07-25 00:00:00 David Zielinski A realistic story with a touch of the absurd. I'm not sure how much kids like these, sometimes it feels as if they're written more with an adult audience in mind. But, it's fairly original and the illustrations, which are a mix of drawings and mixed media, are interesting. For more stories in the same vein, check out for instance John Jensen Feels Different, or Else-Marie and Her Seven Little Daddies.

Review # 2 was written on 2012-10-18 00:00:00 Yu Chung Tong The Singing Hat is a playful book about a man who falls asleep under a tree and ends up with a bird nest on his head. It causes him lots of grief and troubles, and causes him to lose his job and home. However, he is determined not to "disturb nature." The man's life is basically ruined yet he humbly perseveres and sticks to his kind decision to help the birds. I like the message of the book because it is a modern-day fable that expresses the importances of sticking to a difficult decision no matter what.
