review 1: PB 17I really liked Mudkin. The pictures in the story are so expressive and interesting. The story tells so much about what can happen with a little bit of imagination. The way that Mudkin speaks in mud words is also a really good idea that can help kids notice and understand speech in books. The way it suddenly leaves the reader to interpret the pictures is also really great. I loved this story and would definitely recommend to many readers.
review 2: I LOVE this book. A story about a mud... blob? and the little girl *it* (Mudkin?) befriend... the illustrations are incredible. Paintings themselves, the illustrations capture the messiness that a mud-blob would be if it were dancing around with a child, as it does in the book.Very little text, the illustration... mores take the reader through the imagination of the child who is playing in the/with the mud (even becoming QUEEN of the mud, as crowned by Mudkin. My favorite part was the page of dialogue between the child and Mudkin: Child: "Hi... what's your name?"(mud sludge)Child: "Mudkin... it's nice to meet you."(mud sludge)Child: "A QUEEN? Oh no... I'm just playing..."and so forth.This book is great for the imagination and one of beautiful illustrations.Perfect for YOUNG readers, while stronger readers will probably appreciate it all the same.*In a way, reminds me of Where the Wild Things Are as it uses a great amount of imagination, and as a reader, you can't help but connect with the child as they are lost there. less
