![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() I’ve re-read it a few times since then (because my girls are usually very generous with their praise) and I think I understand why: the story itself wasn’t interesting to them and the ending wasn’t a good enough payoff/one they haven’t seen already. My kids both gave it a pretty solid “meh” when I was done. I started reading and then realized something: this book wasn’t exactly what I was expecting. When we got back from the library, this was the first book I chose for story time. Stay tuned to find out if I was right or not! I figured this book might be similar to I’m Bored! by Michael Ian Black (illustrated by the fabulous Debbie Ridpath Ohi). Barnacle looks legit bored and kind of salty. The cover art is what immediately attracted me to the book. One of the books I chose was Barnacle Is Bored. The librarian in charge of picture books is doing a really good job featuring ones that kids will want to pick off of the clear stands. The library is small, but the children’s section is good. Guys, they opened a new library near my house! I am totally going to the grand opening next month and you better believe I’ve already taken out 20+ books on our inaugural visit. ![]()
