The Little Wooden Robot and the Log Princess, timeless excellence

Have you ever experienced something so awesome that you wish that you hadn’t seen it so that you could enjoy it for the first time again? Creepy Carrots was the last illustrated book to do this to us. On television, it was Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul, however, those shows are most certainly for adults or some teens. As much as I enjoyed that, it’s the all-age entries that are more impressive. The Little Wooden Robot and the Log Princess is an illustrated book that roars up alongside its contemporaries and happily rises to the cream of the crop. Even a casual glance at the cover, seeing the wood graphics on the spine and the dozens of hidden details that are lovingly drawn in give readers the impression that they’re in for something special.

The Little Wooden Robot and the Log Princess is an illustrated fairy tale that makes you want to believe. It’s smart, great for ages three and up and a timeless book for the ages.
A new classic. Your grandchildren will be reading this in a decade or two

Song For Jimi is story-driven poetry with standout art for ages 7 and up

After reading thousands of illustrated books I just realized something about the genre. You do not need to read the entire book in one sitting. Granted, being able to read the book in its entirety is part of the appeal of an illustrated book. They tell a story in a large, oversized format that’s also loaded with illustrations. However, some illustrated books must be broken up into segments, nay, much like their thicker cousins, they too require chapters. Song For Jimi is the first illustrated book that has made us realize that when done properly, this format can be as much as a coffee table book, a multi-day read-aloud story to elementary school students and so much more.

Song For Jimi is an illustrated book like no other. It tells a story in poetry, demands time to do so and rewards young audiences with stunning art and verses they normally wouldn’t dig, or read.
Kids will like it, yes they will- plus it ups their cool factor
