Week 19:

Once Upon a Memory VS Camp Rex

Once Upon a Memory:

Summary:

When a feather drifts through a child's window, a magical journey begins. As the boy follows the feather, he is swept away to a world filled with adorable animals, where fantasy and reality come together in surprising and playful ways. From the cake that once was grain to the ocean that once was rain, whimsical "before" and "after" scenes offer readers a peek at the world as seen through the eyes of a curious child, ultimately asking the question, "What will you remember?"

Review:

Creativity can often come in simple, small packages. This book is proof of that. It offers a new kind of perspective for a story line that I’ve never seen, and it knocked it out of the park! If there ever was a beautiful children’s book in every aspect, this book is definitely fighting for that spot.

Camp Rex:

Summary:

It’s important to set a few wilderness safety guidelines first. . . like making sure he stays on the trail. And does not disturb the local wildlife. And knows how to build a safe campfire. But sometimes dinosaurs have a different way of doing things, and that’s why it’s best to be prepared . . . for anything!

Review:

This book had me torn. I very much enjoyed the art work. I loved each and every illustration. I just could not seem to care about the story. It didn’t catch my attention as I would have hoped. For the illustrations alone though, I would recommend you check this book out.

The Winner:

Congratulations to Once Upon a Memory! 

We will see you in November!

We’ll see everyone else next week!
