Knuffle Bunny Too
by Mo Willems

This is a cute story of bunny mix up and the beginning of a new friendship.
The story is cute and has a small element of suspense. My kids loved this story.
The Illustrations were a combination of mixed media that was fun and added texture and perspective. The composition of the pages changes keeping you on your toes like the story does. I like to read this story at the beginning of story time because the kids get invested in the characters and include their comments.

Love Monster And The Last Chocolate
by Rachel Bright

This is a story about a monster and his love of chocolate and if he will share.
I like the idea and the lesson from this story. I am not crazy about this story.
My kids enjoy the story. My niece who was visiting who is 
8 enjoyed the story more than my children.
Not sure if this is just the case that it appeals to an
 older audience...older children's audience.
I did not like how the font changes through out the words and the sketches have a 
free hand sketch quality which I don't mind but pair them with the font and my eyes are
overwhelmed. I think this bothers me more than it does my kids. 
It makes me feel like I am looking at my kids messy room.
The composition is unexpected and your eye has alot to take in.
If I read this it would be towards the middle of story time.
