Storybook Favorites

My Storybook Favorites were hard to pick, but I finally narrowed it down to just three!

1. Elephants of Indian Epics

Not only did the author do an excellent job of explaining their topic throughout their storybook, but they also had a topic that hit close to home... ELEPHANTS!!!! I was so excited when this was the first storybook project that came up. I knew I had to use it in my blog post! I liked the overall layout of the storybook as well. It really helped to guide me along while reading it and I thought it was well organized. I found the general tone of the storybook to be imaginative, creative, and humorous. This was a great start in my overall search of finding three different storybooks to write about!

2. Real Housewives of Ramayana

This storybook caught my attention immediately! The creativeness of the title is what inspired me to read it right away. I am not a fan of the Real Housewives shows, but I do think that the title was creative and definitely took some thought. If it stood out to someone who is not a fan of the television series, then this author did something right! I like how the final chapter of the storybook included "Season Finale" in the title to further tie in the theme of the Real Housewives into their storybook. Overall, it took a lot of thought and I enjoyed reviewing their work.

3. Powerful Women in Indian Epics

I liked reading the title "Powerful Women in Indian Epics". It is a title that stands out and makes the reader curious to read more. After looking at the online storybook for some time, however, I found the content to be a little disorganized and it did not stand out to me as much as the other two storybooks I chose to review. I decided that I would make my storybook most like the elephant storybook and probably least like this particular storybook.

Some of the design features that I liked that were used throughout the storybooks were bright colors and a neat, organized design. If the storybook looks organized, readers are more willing to read it because they can find out exactly what they are reading a lot faster this way. I am very excited to start a storybook project of my own here in just a few short weeks!
