Whimsical
Reminiscent of Childhood
Not My Favorite
This is an adorable tale about two young sisters and their father moving into a new home. This place is a bit of a fixer upper but the whimsical and magical little house makes the whole place seem alive. The whole film is very memorable of a childhood filled with adventures through the woods and dreams of meeting strange new creatures. Although not one of my favorites of the Studio Ghibli films it still holds it own within the collection.

Neil Gaiman's books are really hit and miss for me. I think Stardust is one of two books by him I've legitimately liked. Stardust is whimsical and intensely readable. It's a good story, and I'd definitely read it again.

Johnny Depp is amazing
Fun and whimsical
The first and the best, Johnny Depp at his all time best.
This is an infinitely watchable movie that launched several sequels. This is the best of the bunch.

I read this one because I'm a huge fan of Shannon Hale's work and was looking for a quick read. The book's only ninety pages with whimsical pictures that help tell the tale. Very cute and perfect for younger readers.

An instant classic!
I love these ladies and all that they do. They remind me so much of how it felt playing D&D; the classic fantasy, the shinnanigans, all presented in some lovely, whimsical and crisp artwork and strong (mind, body and spirit) leading ladies

When I first used social media, I would only speak in quotes from this.

Alice is the greatest existential hero ever imagined.

"The Odyssey” was first book I read with my Grampie at four-years-old and was my introduction to the mesmerizing tales of Roman and Greek Mythology. Not only is this book a classic, with plenty of recognizable tales, but truly a whimsical experience of triumph, love, and hardship."

Whimsical marmite
This tells a warm whimsical wonderous story of a word which has forgotten its meaning. Imagine if Alice had fallen into a dictionary instead of wonderland and you are about there. This will be marmite to readers, some not appreciating its magic and metaphors and others dreaming into the depths of its poetry and philosophy. It is a beautifully presented story and has been translated brilliantly to maintain meaning in a book about language. Another word, other than whimsical I would use to describe this journey is charming. From the delightful illustrations to the size and shape of the book itself, it is full of a sincere charm that will delight those who enjoy its pages. Those who won't like the book will find out almost from the first paragraph and if you don't, then put it down and pick up something else. Those that do, then allow yourself to go on its journey and think as well as smile in this wonderful and unique treasure of a novel.
