review 1: I liked the "don't be bossy because no one likes bossy" message. I DIDN'T like how Presto didn't ever speak up for himself and just slunk away into the night leaving Monty to epic fail on his own. Being part of a team also means making sure you are heard and understood. I've seen too much of this act-sad-and-hope-someone-will-notice business in real life. Hey Passive-Agressive Presto, use your words and don't sulk. No one likes sulky. Assert yourself man.
review 2: Two down on their luck friends audition for the carnival rolling into town. Presto, a cat with a flair for magic, is disappointed when his friend, Monty, steals the spotlight and lets success go to his head. Presto leaves the carnival and Monty finds he’s not so good at magic without the help of h... moreis friend. When Presto sees Monty fall flat on his face on TV he arrives just in time to save the show. A humorous tale about friendship and the entertainment industry. Illustrations were created using pencil, ink, collage, and finished digitally. They work well to support and add to the text by filling in extra details (i.e. the spread that shows readers Presto is behind Monty’s magical talents). less
