My Storybook Favorites

Happily Ever Whatever:
One of the reasons why I read this storybook was because of the title. Its catchy because a reader can easily see the story is probably about fairytales but it also reveals it could be with a twist. I liked how the author chose fairytales and put her own spin on it. Instead of her writing in a style as if she read the fairytale she writes it as if she is a huge part of many fairytales. The fairytales she speaks about are her friends who she has attachment to. I liked reading the way the writer describes her authentic emotion on how she wished she could have her own prince charming. Every part of what was written was clear and concise. Although I felt the layout of the blog could have been more flashy. When I think of fairytales I think of flashiness and spark. I felt like her layout could have more of that.

The Afterlife: A Dog's Tale:
A Dog's Tale is about a dog who does not appreciate his life and runs away. He then falls asleep after wandering around and wakes up to realize he is in dog afterlife. The writer takes you through each phase the dog must go through so he can come to the realization that his life is not so bad. I felt the writer did a great job at taking stories that were read and twisting it to make it their own. The author's note were well written and explained properly on why certain situations were brought up in the story. I also liked the layout of the story and how pictures were incorporated so the reader has a great visual of the story as it progresses.

Oliver's Adventure:
This was probably my favorite story mostly because the protagonist in the story is a cat. The writer takes you into a cats mind and tells the story through his perspective. The cat and his kitty friend see ghosts in their human's home when they are away. They speak to the ghosts and the story is about how the cats confront the ghosts and help them. I like how the author uses the cats to create the foundation of the story. The introduction was well done. The writer first talks about the cats and gives you an insight into their different personalities as well. The layout of the story was well done as well and the pictures posted were fitted well into the piece.
