Splash by Kallie George

karcitis's review against another edition

2.0

I just didn't really enjoy this book. The illustrations were nice, but the writing seemed kinda stilted, but maybe that's because it's more of a beginning reader than a picture book. I'm also not sure the message was really made. It's supposed to be about self-control, but the way it was written it seemed like Splash and her tail were two different entities that just happened to get along at the right time, not that she learned how to keep her tail still. Eh, I don't know. It didn't click with me.

I'm charmed by this delightful series by Kallie George. Splash is a young sea serpent who has a hard time behaving like sea serpents should. Even his grandfather has a hard time training him. Will Splash be able to behave when it really matters?
What I liked most about this book is that at the end, it focuses on learning in meaningful circumstances. Isn't this what all kids need?
Geneviève Côtés illustrations are perfect for this beginning reader series.

This book is really cute. The story is cute, Splash the sea serpent somehow learns to stop splashing by being herself instead of a log or a shadow. I'm always down for some [a:Geneviève Côté|220961|Geneviève Côté|https://s.gr-assets.com/assets/nophoto/user/u_50x66-632230dc9882b4352d753eedf9396530.png] tho. Her illustrations are so adorable and lively! I'm definitely going to check out the others in this series of baby mythological creatures!
