The Book Wars sings praises of the “smooth rhyme and consistent rhythm” of Wild One
Posted on December 16th, 2017 by pajamapress
“Wild One by Jane Whittingham and illustrated by Noel Tuazon is just adorable….
Rhyming stories are notoriously difficult to pull off well without seeming forced; most publishers won’t touch them. Here, they flow – and still manage to surprise….Whittingham’s smooth rhyme and consistent rhythm are beautifully matched with the illustrations. Tuazon catches the expressions of a child on adventure just so, and his animals make this reader smile with every page. (That whale!) The watercolours brighten the page while suggesting the blending of everyday and imagination – watercolours, like Let’s Pretend and other imaginative games, never truly stay within the lines.
The endpages are gorgeous.”
