Just Like Bossy Bear Book Review

By David Horvath

*****

Bossy Bear is a bear with a SERIOUS attitude, he likes everything his way - the ONLY way, and you had better do as he says! But how does Bossy Bear feel when his best friend Turtle starts dishing out the same bossy sauce? Just Like Bossy Bear is a fabulous sequal to David Horvath's Bossy Bear, in fact it far outshines it.

This book has some of the most humorous and adorable drawings. Horvath being the creator of the world famous toy Ugly Dolls is no surprise: Ugly Dolls are simplistic yet hilarious and this book is simplistic yet hilarious! He has created a fantastic combination that is loved most highly in both the snuggling and the storytelling worlds. Bright and bold colours accompanied by the wonderous catroon-like characters creates a very-well-coloured-in colouring-book feel, which is very pleasing to the eyes. The three to five word sentences are pure genious and would leave even the grumpiest in a stitches.

Bossy Bear must set a good example to Turtle, but can he do so and still remain bossy? Unlike Bossy Bear's first adventure, Just Like Bossy Bear leaves readers with a new alternative to bossiness. Perfect for children of all ages who have that bossy streak running down their back, or for anyone else who just wants a good laugh. David Horvath has created a one in a million with Just Like Bossy Bear.

The Easter Bunny That Overslept Book Review

By Priscilla and Otto Friendrich

Illustrated by Adrienne Adams

*****

The Easter Bunny wakes up to deliver eggs to all the children, but what he doesn't realize is that it's Mother's Day. Due to the cold and rainy weather, the Easter Bunny slept right through Easter! Through his bewilderment (and embarrassment) he tries to give out his eggs anyway, but is rejected, no one wants eggs on Mother's Day.

Priscilla and Otto Friendrich have created a charming tale of a timid, yet persistent, holiday character that children can flock to at any month of the year. As beautiful as the story is, Adrienne Adams' paintings are absolutely breathtaking. Adams creates a very soft and friendly world with her artwork, the 1950s style characters and settings truly add to the innocence of the book. Together the words and the pictures go hand-in-hand to becoming the greatest story ever told about the world's most famous rabbit. This book truly is a masterpiece.

But it doesn't just end on Mother's Day, you have to wander with the Easter Bunny throughout all the year's holidays. Will anyone accept his belated eggs? Will anyone help him to no longer be tardy? The Easter Bunny That Overslept is a fantastic story to teach children to remain friendly and do your best at your job even when people aren't kind to you, someone will be grateful in the end. Friendrich and Admas have made an unforgettable classic.
