4 ⭐ Chris Pine did a decent job of writing a kid‘s picture book. He has fantastic rhyming skills, but he needs to practice his cadence skills. Digs an adopted dog, and Zorro the neighborhood squirrel finding their spots in their homes and become friends in this adorable story. However, a reader finds himself tripping over the text because there is no flow. There will be sections of flow in cadence that by the next page is completely gone.

LibrarianRyan How Chris uses language and chooses to rhyme parts of the stories shows the ability to do better. This book is a pretty gosh darn good first attempt. I hope he tries writing more picture books, but also get some more practice. 2d

Word of the month: #reflect
This is getting to be cliché.
Great book for taking about bossy behavior without using the word bossy or making it gender normative.

Word of the month: #reflect
A moment of reflection in Flat Cat by Tara Lazar. When the illustration conveys meaning without words so succinctly, what is that called?

Ruthiella A “pictograph” maybe? (edited) 5d
mandarchy @Ruthiella I'm not sure that describes how the images convey the same meaning, I think it needs to be more specific, but not too simple. 5d
mandarchy I think I found something close: image conventions. Illustrators are using standard expressions to convey meaning from which we infer more information. 🤯 5d

An amusing bit of strange. Part way seems to want to point out how we take for granted treating 'man's best friend' a particular way, in the certain belief that they enjoy it, and part way a standard tale of alien experiencing what we see as familiar, and part way a commentary on the revelations available when we interact with a new being and recognize when we're expecting them to react as others have (especially those who look similar) 1/?

Robotswithpersonality 2/2 in previous interactions, and should leave room for different beings acting uniquely, with a smattering of heart-warming awkward 'making new friends'. I think there's a tried and tested message or two in here, though the premise of green alien seemingly of canine -like persuasion is a new one for me.
Gotta wonder how much of that whole dog park situation was a bit uncanny valley/existential horror at first for the Dalmartian....🫤

I wasn't sure this one could be cuter than the first book but I was proven wrong!

I loved that it had a similar theme to the first book, in regards to discovery of self worth and friendship. A great read and the images are just as beautiful, detailed, and rich in color. Easy to read and follow along for young readers, or any age readers since I'm definitely older than the demographic for this one 😂

2024 Favourite Superhero stories and Picture Books: Some graphic novels wandered into other categories this year, but I've still obviously got a big soft spot for DC comics, especially Nightwing and Batman. Other notable miniseries include a more paranormal look at Gotham, and a stylish noir in Human Target. I enjoy the art in a lot of picture books, but the three shown at bottom right were particularly lovely in both sentiment and aesthetic.
