review 1: This book was published in 2013, and it is about two characters who are incredibly lonely in the big city. To me, the artwork gave off a feel of 1920s New York City. As the characters go about their lives, they are constantly drawn to their favorite interests, (singing, instruments, yogurt, etc.) and eventually they meet up. Finally, they have both found a friend. I would definitely classify this as traditional literature.
review 2: This book kind of sneaked up on me. I was captivated by the map on the end pages with the arrow pointing to the hot dog stand, and the illustrations are great, but I wasn't so sure about the slow to get started story. But like a lot of great books, the story has to have time to build. By the end, I fell in love with both Herm... morean and Rosie. Kids will enjoy the illustrations that really invite them to pore over the pages. It would be great to use this for a unit on mapping or cities too. Honestly, through talking to colleagues about this book, I have come to love it even more. It can stand on its own as a great book, but it can be developed into a great programming opportunity. My wheels are spinning. less
