ELF Reviews/ELF Critiques

Hi! I'm ELF (Emily Lace Fred). I'm going to start reviewing books with my mommy. If you have a recently published picture book (lots of pictures, little words) you want us to review, or an unpublished picture book you want us to critique contact my mommy. ;)


Here is my first review.


Emily Loves to Bounce 


ELF Says: I like this one. It's the first book I made it through in one sitting. And her name is Emily *clap, clap*


Mommy says: I liked that this had lots of big pictures with only a few words per page. It made it easier to read to ELF. It's also a rhyming picture book, which I love. (Although, I heard @ SCBWI-LA last year, agents are sick of them, but I love them so keep writing)! It was a cute book, but it didn't have much of a narrative, in my opinion. It was more of a description of a girl who likes to bounce than a story about her. I won't rate this, because ELF and I will need to read more picture books to get a feel for them before I feel comfortable giving them a numerical value.
