I'm a sucker for cute little illustrations in books. The simplest image can add so much to the story.

I seem to have developed a taste for this author. This was silly, light hearted and fun. For something 90 years old it's not as problematic as you might expect though it has a couple of well worn tropes, they're not ones that are exclusive to old books.

The story concerns a man who starts to randomly turn into different animals. So that probably tells you what you need to know about how serious it is.

This baby was pitched as Nevermore (one of my ultimate favs) meets Pokémon (my childhood) and it just got expanded to 4 books in the series so this better not let me down!

Thank you Netgalley and the publisher for an early copy in exchange for an honest review.

This was a cute and quirky middle-grade novel featuring charming characters, an imaginary world, and a light-hearted plot. It will be perfect for fans of How to Train Your Dragon and Pokémon. This is a strong start to a great new fantasy series!

I believe this is Amanda Foody's first foray into MG. She is pretty popular for here YA so we shall see.

Due to changing positions at work, I've been struggling to find time to read recently. Finally this long weekend has provided me with an abundance of reading time and I've gotten most of my lesson plans finished. HOORAY! This book is pretty hilarious and so unique. I've enjoyed every bit of it the illustrations are dark, but with a touch of whimsy. #mtanderson #eugeneyelchin #illustratedreading #justread #longweekend #whimsy #comical

As a girl I was taught that magic was real. Everything was alive! I still name inanimate objects and say hello to the flowers, trees and animals in my yard. My parents encouraged me to read books written by people like CS Lewis. These stories became the map of my imagination gave me the gifts of creativity and originality. I thank authors like this for giving me such a wonderful, whimsical curiosity ❤️

WhatThePuck When picking stories to read to J, I will only choose whimsical fairytales. At 3, he's read the unabridged Wizard of Oz, silver shoes and all. We've also read Alice in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass. I've also read the abridged versions of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde and Frankenstein for classic horror. He wanted to be Dr. Frankenstein for Halloween, but dad made him choose a more natural choice....Catboy. 6y
Whimsical.Curiosity @WhatThePuck hahaha aaww catboy! I love that you're giving him the best imagination possible! So much magic comes from those stories. I'm gonna be the exact same way. I'm so friggin impressed at what's he's reading!! 6y

A wonderful surprise gift in the post from a very old and dear friend... He read me these letters over the phone when I was a young Graduate who was working away for the first time in Omaha, Nebraska - a very long way from my Home in Sydney Australia for 3 months in 2001 - special to still be such dear friends after 20 years

Jinjer That's so nice!!! What a wonderful surprise and memory. That illustration is too cute! 7y
