So it begins, my quest to read all of the books on the shortlist and not surprisingly, I’ve got one I really liked and another that was ok but not my favorite.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

The one I really liked was Hereville: How Marka Got Her Sword<\/a>.  Great drawings. Good story. Knitting saves the day. How awesome is that?<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

The one I was disappointed and meh about was the one I thought I’d like the most: Nursery Rhyme Comics<\/a>.  I think I expected the artists to take more liberties than they did – my fault since this is still a nursery rhyme book for kids. I did enjoy seeing Sarah Varon’s work and it was pretty much exactly right. There were some others that I liked but overall – it just fell flat for me. I suspect Elly felt the same way, though she didn’t say anything about it last weekend when she read it (which might also indicate that it fell flat for her, too.)<\/p>\n
