Merry Meerkat Marginalia

Ok so I think I’m going to have to skip A Look and Learn book today. Unless it gets slow at work this afternoon. Instead, I’m going to review this Children’s book which I got from Netgalley for review.

Netgalley Review

5 Stars

First Impression:  Seems really cute. Art is really well done. Especially like the colors.

Plot/Storyline:  Incredibly cute story of two Alex Addelstons who become best friends.  Then they are forced to separate.  I know it’s a children’s book and I’m supposed to just go along with it, which I do and I love this book, but my one thing is, if they were best friends, why don’t they write letters still?  One of the Alex’s had moved to Kenya, but still, i’m pretty sure you could have phones or email or old fashioned mail in Kenya. Just saying.  

In any case, this book has a happy ending and is very very juicy.  I absolutely adored this book. I would get it for Owen but I think he’s still a bit young for it.  It’s so sweet and tender. Highly recommended.
