Storybook Favorites

My favorite storybooks are...

1. "The Dog That Learned To Share" from The Diary of A Dog: A Daily Recount of my Ruff Life.
I like this story because I love dogs. I knew I would enjoy any story about a dog, and I think the dog in the story, Mercedes, is so adorable. The title provided a good preview of what the story would be about. The introduction also caught my attention and was a great lead in to the stories. It provided some background information about the author and her dog, the inspiration of the story. I liked how she even included the dog's perspective, it made the story more enjoyable and fun to read. All of her stories were based on true events. I think the design for the story was quite simple and the formatting could be better, but overall it looked clean and wasn't distracting.

2. "Move in Day" from The College of the Elite
I thought this story was interesting because it put a mythological spin on a real-life scenario. I chose to read this story because I found it relatable since it was about girls going to college. Although neither of them wanted a roommate, the unlikely duo of a siren and a banshee turned into a normal friendship. I think the introduction did a great job of introducing the characters from the stories and the design and layout looked great.

3. "Leah and Rachel: Part 1" from E! News Special: Diary Reveal. 
The "E! News" part of the title is what inclined me to read the story. I like E! News so I figured the story would be filled with drama and excitement. As I began to read, I realized the story was based off a story in the Bible and I was very entertained by it. The physical layout of the pages were good and it was easy to get from one story to another. The introduction was fun and kept the news report theme going.
