Book Review: Not such a fan
Summary: 3 Stars
I bought this wordless picture book on a whim because it was on a very good sale. I planned to give it to my niece's pre-k teacher, with a bunch of other wordless picture books.
I don't like it that much. One of the good things about wordless books, I think, is that they're... well... wordless. If - as in this book - you have to be able to read incidental signs to understand what's going on then it's not really wordless, is it?
But the pictures are subtle enough that even WITH the signs it's not always clear what you're looking for. Might as well have gone all the way and included some narration.
I'll still give the book, but I won't buy a copy for me.
