A Classic Of Children's Literature
I liked this book a lot tbh. The ending was cute, the illustrations were nice, and the writing didn't "talk down" to readers like some picture books do. The only complaint I have is that the pacing felt a little rushed. But maybe that's just me.

Set very convincingly in NOLA
Every character in this book is a terrible person (but comically so.) If that bothers you, you should skip it. (0 more)
It's own special flavor of humor, takes a couple pages to really "get it"
Sometimes if I get offended unnecessarily, I picture the main character in this book, reacting with histrionics an I chuckle to myself and move on with my life.

Smooth Story Plot
This book was on my TBR list and I finally read it. I am glad I did. I enjoyed the mystery and suspense of the story. Though I can't picture some of the things described due to my lack of knowledge on the London layout, I find this to be a thrilling and exciting story and can't wait for book two

This delightful picture book finds shows the dangers of walking into a strange house. What if Goldilocks wandered into a trap instead of the house of the three bears? It's filled with humor that those familiar with the original story will find delightful. I couldn't stop grinning as I read it.

This was really interesting. I have been challenging myself to read things that I normally wouldn't. This picture book was hilarious. I found the mime pictures to be creative and entertaining. It was something very unique. I am glad that this was a book I picked up and flow through. I do wish that the pictures were larger. They were a little hard to read/see/enjoy on my Nook.

The way she writes is just superb. (0 more)
Martina cole really knows how to catch her readers attention. She includes so much detail into her book that you can really picture everything, from the scenes, to the people & even the emotions. You never know where the story will go next, just when it seems calm something unexpected happens that brings with it a whole new aspect of the book. Just fabulous writing.

Jethro and Joel Were a Troll

The two-headed troll Jethro and Joel have a problem. While Jethro is quite content to spend his days raising the turnips they love to eat, Joel wants to be terrorizing people. When Jethro finally gives in and allows Joel to have control of their body for one day, what will happen?

I’ve always loved the title of the book, and I still find the story fun. The way he builds up to that final sentence will please adults, and the fast moving story and pictures will entertain the target picture book audience. What surprised me while reading this as an adult is the clear allegory about the dangers of giving in to what you know is wrong. Oh, don’t worry, this is a picture book with a happy ending, and it never slows down the story to lecture us.

Plot did not really seem to come to anything. (0 more)
A quick read.
I enjoyed the book, the characters and the concept but felt it ended too quickly without really having much of an ending. It seemed to build up a picture of the characters but lacked excitement and real plot.
