Gone to the dogs

Antoinette by Kelly DiPucchio

by Leave a Comment

Antoinette is probably more a 2.5 than a three. There is something missing for me. Plus, the illustrations and I just are not meshing as I would have liked. Kelly DiPucchio is the author of the companion book Gaston as well as this one. If you do not know who Gaston is, that is fine. His story is told as needed to fit Antoinette’s story. However, you do not necessarily need to know who he was. But, of course, it does not hurt to have read that one as well. The theme of, “everyone has a talent” has been done […]

Manny is what a real super hero should be. He has his capes for each adventure: purple, red, green and so forth. But he has a very special cape for school: his invisible one. Which I think is a nice touch. Usually you see the child wearing a cape to school and everyone accepts it as “okay” and a “normal” thing to do. And rarely, if at all, they are teased for it.
