so-so3 ⭐ First this book is too long. And there are so many ideas in here that it seems like a mishmash. There‘s the idea of being afraid, the idea of feeling left out, the idea of not fitting in. Towards the end the minotaur says they learned that black is just where all the colors meet seems to come from nowhere and belong to a different book. It‘s just altogether weird. I like the illustrations.

pick4.5 ⭐This book is adorable. It‘s about a ghost who instead of being a sheet is a quilt. It makes him move slower, makes them heavier, but it also makes them much cozier to the little girl that picks them up. There‘s another book in this series and I‘m looking forward to it. And the artwork while not completely black and white uses color sparingly so that way our quilt stands out. This book was a top read from first page to last.
so-so3 ⭐ This is a book that has not aged well. Wendy lives in Boxville and everybody must wear their labeled box every day. Wendy‘s issue is that she can‘t pick a box. She doesn‘t want to be just one thing she wants to be different things at different times. One day she decides just not to wear her box. It does get her in trouble in town, but eventually, her family is like hey maybe that‘s an OK idea. I think what makes this weird is the end
I think that this was a fun and silly book about Mr. Tiger finding who he is, when he is in a world that makes him conform against what he wants to do. He finds a happy medium between being comfortable in who he is as a tiger but also learning to balance the world around him.
pickMr. Tiger Goes Wild is a picture book that tells the story of Mr. Tiger and how they live in a proper world of suits and manners. One day he decided that he is over the prim and proper world and rids himself of the manners and clothes of the proper world. This is a silly story with great illustrations, and how when he runs to the forest, he feels at home in the wild.
The book would make a good lesson on being different and embracing each other‘s differences. It could also be a good lesson on sometimes feeling the need to be wild and what we should do when that happens.
This book would make an excellent lesson on being unique and embracing each other‘s differences. I think it‘d be very good to include some social devotional development with this.
