Summary: ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC BOOK!!!!!!
Comments: This book is incredible!!!! I saw it while volunteering in my granddaughter's 3rd grade classroom and because it was so unique in its design and illustration, I took it home to read with the teacher's permission and total endorseation (it was1of his favorite books). What a treat I was in for - not only are the pictures so incredibly detailed, however the story is fascinating. I couldn't believe this was a children's book....and in reality, it's a book for any age. It quickly became1of my favorite books as well and I have been an avid reader my whole life reading 1,000's of books. This book will honestly become eone's favorite. Thank you Mr. Selznick for creating such a marvelous book and I sincerely hope the story will continue.

Summary: The Invention of Hugo Cabret
Comments: Dear Reader,
I endorse this book to anyone who likes a realistic book. Hugo Cabret is a12-year-old boy who loves to invent things. His father died in a fire, no1knows how the fire got started and from then on he lived with his drunken uncle in a clock tower. Hugo's uncle keeps the clock towers working, and1day he left and never came back. Hugo never said anything to anyone about his uncle leaving. He made the clock towers work and took his checks in the mail (even though he did not know how to cash them) Hugo took clothes from the lost and found in the building with the clock tower in it and he pays with money he finds on the streets of Paris.
The Invention of Hugo Cabret is the best book I have ever read because I love realistic books, and it has amazing pictures by Brian Selznick. You should read it!!

Summary: The almost all unique approach yet for a picture book....A+++
Comments: I loved e part of the book. I heard that the book was great and once I read it, it blew me away. The best picture books are when the author and the illustrator are the same person. I read the book in1sitting and then went back to look closer at the pictures. At this point, this is my favorite picture book. |
