2. REVIEWS
The Discovery of Ramen
by Phil Amara, Oliver Chin
Illustrated by Juan Calle
"The first title in the series, this profile a ubiquitous fast food should have broad appeal. The stylized cartoon characters and welcome diversity among the patrons pictured at noodle shops is echoed by the creative team who share a background in animation which is reflected in the story's design and pacing."

The Octonauts & the Sea of Shade
" It is stylish, fun, and good-hearted. The illustrations are fun, the vocabulary is excellent, and the plot is very creative and whimsical. This book is part of a series and the series inspired a television show. I haven't seen the television show, but if it is anything like the book - I'm sure it is a lot of fun."
