Summary: Journey
is a well-illustrated wordless picture book about a girl who is bored and
unable to catch the attention of anyone in her house. Due to her boredom, she draws
a magic door on her bedroom wall, which escapes into a world where wonder, adventure,
and danger awaits.
Personal Statement:
I personally love this book because it allows children to use their own imagination
and make an inference on what is going to happen next. After reading this book,
I think that it’s a great book that every child can relate to and get lost in
(Isn’t that what reading is all about?). However, I do not like that the child
drew on the wall because she simply was not getting any attention from her
parents. I definitely recommend reading this book and getting lost in the
creativity that this book offers!
Rate: 4 out of 5
Summary: This was a sad, but relatable book about a boy and his family
going out to a fancy restaurant, not realizing that the boys frog jumped into his
jacket pocket seeking adventure. Once they got to the restaurant, the frog jumps
out of the boy’s pocket and interrupts the orchestra, and various dinners until
the frog is caught and gets kicked out along with the boy and his family. The books
end with the family upset with the boy and sending him to bed, but the boy and
the frog, as well as his turtle and dog continue to have a good time in the bedroom.

Personal Statement: I
thought this book was very well illustrated and humorous. This book was recommended
to me by a teacher, which I did not think was going to be good because of the
cover (Do not judge a book by its cover). After reading the book, I found
myself chuckling at the creativity of this book. Although this book does not
have any words, you will find yourself creating the story on your own, which one
of the reasons why this book is so good! I recommend reading this book and I hope
you have as much fun as I did!
