Gorgeously presented card game
This game looks gorgeous, it is designed like a children's picture book. You have random cards and characters and use them to battle. Although beautiful looking i am not sure if the game ill last weeks of play.

The more times you read the book the more you get from it. It really makes you think differently about things and I love that about a book. The descriptions are well detailed so you can paint an amazing picture. (0 more)
There are some racism remarks which I'm guessing at the time was written wasn't "a big deal" but it makes for uncomfortable reading. Also in the follow on books there are a few inconsistencies, but if you can over look doesn't effect the story too much. (0 more)
A thinking book!
  
This book has a special place in my heart because it saved my senior thesis in undergrad. I was a lonely little Texan in Midwestern hell, and decided to write my thesis on the TX revolution after I bought this book.
In short, this is the history of the revolution, the Republic of Texas, then becoming part of the USA. The colorful and well-known characters involved in the colonization and subsequent events are all used to create an overall picture of the time period. Overall, a great book.

I am Bat by Morag Hood is a simple picture book. There are many things children will enjoy about it. The main character, Bat, is grumpy and selfish with his food, but he is adorable.The illustrations are cute and the reader ends up liking this grumpy little bat. The drawings are simple, but are done well. The book touches on fruit, colors, feelings, and hints at friends.

I give this story 4/5 stars.

I received this book from Sourcebooks Jabberwocky via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
