This is such an adorable book!

I wasn’t sure how this book would go when I picked it up at the library. I just recently read [Circle Rolls] and didn’t like it as much as I thought I would. The cover of this one reminded me of the other book so I was a little hesitant, but I am so glad I gave this one a try.

Such a cute story. This is a simple book, but very fun. I loved the illustrations. So colorful and bright.

The book is similar to the set up of many Mo Willem’s stories, but with its own completely original story. This is a Pixar Animation Studios Artist Showcase book, which is a series that shows the work of various artists from Pixar. You can definitely tell Hartline had a hand in making Inside Out based on this book.

I also loved the message of the book: compromise and find something you both are good at and can enjoy instead of just doing what one person wants to do. Great message for a children’s book.

At the end of the book is a little blurb from Hartline about how he started working at Pixar, which is an inspiring little story that really pushes the reader to follow their dreams.

This is just such a great book. By the end of it, I had a big dorky smile on my face. Highly recommend.
