Week 26:

Pomelo’s Big Adventure VS Turtle Island

Pomelo’s Big Adventure:

Summary:

Large, lovely pages of cactuses, canyons, and the open road: this isn't just a panorama but a true Pomelorama-adventure!

Review:

Sigh. This book was weird… and it was a little long. I really appreciated the illustrations, but the story just didn’t cut it for me. I’d pass on this one.

Turtle Island:

Summary:

Turtle is big. But the ocean is bigger. And Turtle is all alone. Until four shipwrecked folks--a bear, an owl, a frog, and a cat--climb to safety on his shell. Before long, they're fast friends, and the sea doesn't seem so vast anymore. But when Frog confides that he misses his family, Turtle doesn't understand. Isn't he their family? And when the group decides to sail for home, will Turtle be left behind? Never fear--a surprise on the horizon promises friends, family, and a home at last. Uplifting and heartfelt, this is a book about the power of friendship and making a home of one's own.

Review:

Turtle Island had a simple premise, but it was executed magnificently! And it was very heart-warming too. Plus, the illustrations were great! As you can see, I really liked this book.

The Winner:

Congratulations to Turtle Island! 

We will see you in November!

We’ll see everyone else next week!
