[Review] Meeselphe by Claude Ponti

Published on 23 January 2024 at 08:53

Weird and zany. Great art. This book reminded me of Dr. Seuss, without the lyrical verse. A celebration of discovery, difference, and self.

 

That being said, the language in this one will be difficult for young children to tackle on their own. Also, many of the secondary characters make fun of the protagonist, giving it an awkward bullying-is-okay vibe. Bullying is not okay.

 

Great art, super goofy, I just didn't love all the content.

 

Note: I received this book as an ARC. It is scheduled to be released April 2, 2024.
