Storybook Favorites

The Diary of a Dog

This storybook was enjoyable for me to read because I love dogs! The sweet dog that was introduced in the storybook was named Cedie. She is an eight-year-old golden doodle who loves to play outside and chase anything and everything.

The introduction was very informative and a good stepping stone to allow the reader to really get to know the main character, Cedie. It was interesting to learn about the day in the life of Cedie and learn all about her daily activities.

The design and the overall layout of the pages was inviting and easy to follow. There were pictures after each paragraph that showed the many different sides of Cedie. It was a fun storybook to read!

Kindergarten Shenanigans

This storybook was an interesting read. It was all about the life of a kindergartener. I especially loved reading this one because I love children!

The introduction was a good start to help understand what the storybook was going to be about. Some of the dialogue was written in a way that a kindergarten teacher might speak to her students, which was funny to read.

This was a fun storybook to read because it shared personal stories and mishaps of the students in the classroom. From five-year-old meltdowns to stealing toys, you can tell there is never a boring day in the life of a kindergartener.

The design of the storybook was well thought out. It had fun pictures that related to what was being said and allowed the reader to feel like they were back in the kindergarten classroom.

Finals Week: Death Notes

This storybook was such a relatable read. This was written by a student who was preparing for final exams and struggling to make it, as we all tend to do around that time of the semester. This was an interesting read because it was many different experiences wrapped into one. What I enjoyed about this read is that it had personal stories in it, which added that genuine touch that it needed.

The introduction was more on the humorous side, allowing the reader to sit back and relax while enjoying the read. The was the introduction was set up was helpful in allowing the reader to understand the direction it may be going.

I thought the layout and the overall design of the storybook was great! Th use of darker colors really set the mood for the story. Using the darker colors allowed the reader to understand the stress and anxiety that we, as students, tend to feel on a daily basis.
