Home, Sweet Home by Amitis Karami
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Oh, that was adorable! I loved the illustrations and the sweet story.
Though I found the poetry forced. It would read aloud well as the rhythm stayed true, it was more the word order that bothered me.
When I read children’s stories I imagine reading them to my four kids… when they were kids. Back then we had goats and chickens, ducks, a dog and a cat. Thank goodness we had a barn! A discussion would have followed the read. We would have talked about how nice it was for the lady to take in her cold, wet friends. How we should always try to be kind to others, golden rule recited. How our animals give us so much including food, love and laughs.
There were pages that might work better in paper form, such as the picture of the friends with the lady in the bed were cut in half. I have no idea how that could be fixed for Kindle or epub.
Thank you for sharing this sweet book with me. I would give this four stars. I thinks it is fantastic for a first!
