This Is Not a Game

August 26th, 2010

The book is written in a three act form. The first part of the book is fascinating and sets the context for the moral issues that arise later in the book.

I enjoyed this, especially because Gibson hasn’t been doing Gibson much these days (sadly his Spook Country was one of his weakest books). Nor do I see anything wrong with one artist being influenced by another.

Don Freeman – Corduroy’s Easter Party
Grosset & Dunlap | English | 2000 | ISBN-10: 0448421542 | 32 pages | PDF | 11.7 Mb

As he and his friends get ready to celebrate Easter with a special party, Corduroy wonders if the Easter Bunny is real. I like this book a lot. I bought this for my son, 18 months. I like Corduroy a lot and so does my son. This is a fun book to read as you can do a lot with the child whilst reading it (ie) you can pretend to be a slide with your legs, you can sing “rain rain go away” and much more. It’s a fun book and the illustration is simply great with dolly and bunny. My son loves is, so do I!
