The Day I Ran Away by Holly L. Niner
3.0
I received this copy from a Goodreads Giveaway.
2.5 stars
I truly like the concept of this book and it is clear that it is written with a tinge of childhood nostalgia.
Written wholly in dialog with illustrations representing exactly what is written by the text, I feel that this book needs to do more with fewer words. While the conversion between dad and daughter is entertaining-and it is clear that he is humoring her-less is more, especially when building to a punch line.
Interesting, but not memorable.
