Some of my Favorite Storybooks

The first storybook that caught my attention was LSD in a Yellow Submarine. I assumed it had something to do with The Beatles and that made me want to know more because the first CD I bought was a Beatles greatest hits album. The two stories on in the storybook seem to be two adventures taken using a yellow submarine bicycle as transportation. It seemed goofy and intriguing and also different from what I usually read. The introduction ends on a cliff hanger and makes me want to keep on reading. The author does a really good job captivating the reader's attention. I also like the design of the blog especially the background. It is eye catching and goes along with a Beatles underlying theme.

The next story that really caught my interest was Peter Pan. As I was scrolling through the list I was hoping there would be one on Peter Pan. Growing up one of my favorite movies to watch was Hook. I think I wanted to be like a lost boy and live in a tree and try to play pranks and upset the pirates. It was a movie that encouraged imagination and that gave me inspiration and creativity. I like this storybook because the introduction brings up something I haven't really thought about with Peter Pan. The author talks about love and how Peter is oblivious to what it is and to the girls that have had feelings for him over the years. All the stories I have heard about Peter Pan in the past have never really dealt with love so I am curious to see where it may go. I like the pictures that are used in the storybook but I think the font is a little hard to read at times.

The last storybook I looked at involves more characters I was familiar with growing up. The Unanswered Questions of Pooh and Friends is a title that makes you want to know more already. The introduction is well written and makes you want to definitely read more. I think it is kind of funny how the author created somewhat of a more real world scenario where Pooh and his friends are talking about their problems with a doctor. It is comical to me to think that Pooh had a therapist he needed to visit with on a regular basis. I remember growing up and loving to watch Pooh and I think I still have a Pooh teddy bear in my room back home. I thought the design of the storybook was good and eye catching. Also, the font was interesting and still legible so maybe I can figure what it is to use in the future.
