This book is so cute! The pictures are cut outs from different textures and designs to give a very unique style. Also, on the top of every couple pages is a sort of a title. It's made out of what looks like magazine letters. They are like mini stories always with the same two characters but about different topics and things they do. I like the humor in this book. The characters are kind of sarcastic which isn't something you usually see in childrens books. You can also learn some things such as how to be a good friend, and that octopus have eight tentacles.
I did this author for my API and I really enjoy him as an author. He has a ton of different genres like picture books, chapter books, graphic novels, and books especially made for preschoolers. He has books for all ages and he is unique in the fact that he writes specifically for boys!! Since boys often times are not as into reading Scieszka makes it a point to write books specifically geared towards their interests. He also has two fabulous websites that I encourage you to visit. The first website is about him and his books, it is his official website, and then the next website is solely for boys. This website gives many recommendations for other books by different authors that boys of all ages would enjoy.
