"When I was at school, Raymond Pettibon was one of my favourite artists. I'm not into comic books and I don't really like comic book artwork for records and some people probably would describe Raymond Pettibon in that style. And yet despite that, he just has something else. He has ideas. That particular picture on the cover of Goo was an image I was familiar with before I even knew who Sonic Youth were, which is probably a bit unusual. I came across it in one of his books. As a sixteen-year-old there were so many of his images, especially when those images included text, that really sparked off my thoughts. I found them really evocative. Sonic Youth are obviously a brilliant band but I only came to learn that a lot later."

This is so cute! There’s not much I can say in a review for this since it is basically a novelty picture book, but I loved it.

There’s a cute little illustration of a hug on every page and I just find it really heartwarming. It’s one of my go-to feel-good books that will always cheer me up as well – I just have to flick to a random page for a smile.

I love that there’s little quotes mixed in as well. It’s just such a loving little book and would make a great present to anyone

Where Are You, Wilbert?

Where Are You, Wilbert? by Bárdur Oskarsson is a picture book about a small gray rat and her large gray friend, Wilbert. They are playing hide-and-seek. Wilbert is tough to find, so the rat asks a crocodile for help. Together, they hunt behind every tree they can see, and finally, the rat spots Wilbert. The illustrations are strange and lovely at the same time. 

While I enjoyed the book, I did find the book a bit strange and hard to follow. 

I received an ARC from Owlkids books via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
