Strum, James Ogres Awake First
Second , 2016. $14.99. PICTURE BOOK/GRAPHIC NOVEL
A knight notices invading ogres and jumps on his loyal steed
Edward to go and warn the king. The king is surprisingly calm and consults with
tiny garden gnomes on a course of action. The little knight is put to work
helping to peel potatoes from the vegetable garden. The question becomes, make
war or soup?
This is a cute bright little graphic novel style picture book. I
thought it was a fun read and allowed for creative options to war and battle. I
did find myself wondering if the ogres would just invade every day for the meal
they received, which is a bigger problem. The illustrations are so adorable.
