review 1: I am torn on how to feel about this board book series by the always fabulous Tony DiTerlizzi. The illustrations are adorable and the characters have such fantastic expressions. However, the sentence structure is written all squirrely and backward.Example:Instead of saying: I will call my friend named Wishi; the book says: “Meno call friend of name Wishi.”While this way of speaking may sound quirky and cute coming out of Meno’s mouth I would be upset, to see young readers picking up his poor grammatical speaking skills.
review 2: Meno is a space elf whose best friend is a jelly fish. When the jelly fish misses his friends from the sea, Meno asks Wishi to bring them a new friend to go in a fish bowl. Meno is very charming. For those readers who have crit... moreicized Meno's grammar, I would say--don't take it so seriously; Meno is from a different planet and hasn't learned all the rules of English yet! I doubt any children reading this will discard all the grammar rules they've learned just so they can talk like Meno. They will probably laugh precisely because they recognize his mistakes. less
