- Title Selfie
My Thoughts
The illustrations and hashtags were so much fun. Whether all about selfies or a hobby of taking pictures and enjoying nature, the messages are the same. Be aware of your surroundings. And don’t let a fun hobby keep you away from friends and daily happenings.
This is a simple book that brings up enough various thoughts, such as ignoring surroundings, obsession with anything, ignoring friends, and even the love and friendship of squirrels who worried about their friend.
What Concerned Me
My biggest concern is probably the age group this book would fit. Though I know little ones learn very early about electronics, I don’t see them grasping hashtags and selfies as a topic of interest.
And the text and pictures weren’t quite funny enough or have a hook that would attract older readers.
What I Liked Most
The message this book offers is very appropriate – – for all ages. Yes, it applies to us too, adults.
The topic was handled well and I loved that friends cared enough to search for Squirrel. They were not judgemental, just concerned.
Thank you NetGalley and Capstone Editions for providing a digital ARC.
