The Shy Creatures Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Originally tucked inside David Mack's long running comic book master piece, Kabuki, The Shy Creatures is presented here in its entirety in this beautiful children's hardcover. The illustrations and rhyme scheme will remind parents of Doctor Seuss and Maurice Sendak classics, while young readers will appreciate the underdog heroine and her band of imaginary, mythological and cryptozoological friends. Every child is sure to laugh out loud at the Yeti's grooming which results in a poodle cut or the Chupa Cabra who receives a new smile courtesy of some seriously huge dentures! I allowed my daughter to read the comic book presentation of this story and she asked for it 3 nights running. Full of imagination, laughs and a little shy girl you'll all root for, this is destined for classic status, an excellent bed time story that will send your children off to sleep with a smile.

Sky Sweeper Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Takeboki was a young boy looking for a job and the monks in the temple hired him as a Flower Keeper. His job was to sweep his way though all the seasons. He kept sweeping year after year until people started to talk about him. His parents claimed he was getting too old to be a Flower Keeper. "Im happy sweeping." And he was. "The monks need a temple, the temple needs a garden, and the garden needs a Flower Keeper." The criticism did not stay with him for long.
His brother told him about many far away places he was going to visit and told him he would make lots of money. "I do go places," Takeboki replied. In his mind he traveled the world over in his garden. The monks ignored him when he told them of the things the garden reminded him of, but he was still happy. The criticism did not stay with him for long. He was urged to marry, but once again he said, "I'm happy." And he was. "The monks need a temple, the temple needs a garden, and the garden needs a Flower Keeper." The world would have to go on without him. Takeboki was a happy man.
This is a very heartwarming tale about a boy who would turn into a man and was still content to march to his own drummer. What if, how come, wouldn't you be happier doing something else . . . all questions some people don't need to answer because they are happy with themselves and what they do. The art work is soothing and beautiful and echoes the contentment Takeboki found in his life. If someone in your life marches to a different drummer, perhaps this is a book you should read!
