Summary
A celebration of the magical bonds that unite children！
When her two big sisters embark on an adventure to explore a mysterious island， the youngest one doesn’t want to be left behind。 What shines through from this funny story’s gut-wrenchingly scary beginning （“There was a terrible plane crash！”） to its sweet and satisfying ending is LINIERS’s admiration for the imaginative powers of childhood。

Cute and a teensy bit surreal， but the ending was disappointing to me。

An early elementary grpahic novel filled with imagination and a twist ending about children exploring and finding wonder in the island around them。

Three sisters embark on an epic fantasy when their plane crashes on a jungle island。 They find beautiful exotic wildflowers who talk （but only to the youngest sister）， a tiny treehouse with a tiny “pocket gorilla，” a dragon and a mysterious temple。 It slowly becomes evident to the reader that this is an epic adventure of imaginative play！ It’s obvious at the end， when a parent calls them in for dinner。Liniers’s beautiful artwork， done with India ink and watercolor， is the main focus， and one can Three sisters embark on an epic fantasy when their plane crashes on a jungle island。 They find beautiful exotic wildflowers who talk （but only to the youngest sister）， a tiny treehouse with a tiny “pocket gorilla，” a dragon and a mysterious temple。 It slowly becomes evident to the reader that this is an epic adventure of imaginative play！ It’s obvious at the end， when a parent calls them in for dinner。Liniers’s beautiful artwork， done with India ink and watercolor， is the main focus， and one can easily enjoy the story without the dialogue。 Short sentences in speech bubbles are easy to follow， especially when the big sisters explain longer words to the younger sister， and there are pages of graphic panels as well as full bleed spreads。 The front endpapers show numbered wildflowers， as if part of a plant identification book， with the three girls included， as they are indeed wild flowers too。 This is a lovely， artistic reader with a visual emphasis， and positive， loving sibling relationships。 。。。more

Three sisters spend a day in the wilds of their imaginations， where the wildflowers speak， a tiny gorilla lives in a house at the base of a tree， and snow tastes like popcorn。 Each girl’s creative input comes into play， and when they’re called home for dinner we see the garden and toys that sparked the world in which they’d immersed themselves。 Authors always say to ‘write what you know，’ and this is the third of Liniers’ books that celebrates his daughters。 Graphic format， vocab for emerging re Three sisters spend a day in the wilds of their imaginations， where the wildflowers speak， a tiny gorilla lives in a house at the base of a tree， and snow tastes like popcorn。 Each girl’s creative input comes into play， and when they’re called home for dinner we see the garden and toys that sparked the world in which they’d immersed themselves。 Authors always say to ‘write what you know，’ and this is the third of Liniers’ books that celebrates his daughters。 Graphic format， vocab for emerging readers; grades 1-2 could likely tackle alone， enjoyable as read-aloud for kids younger than that。 。。。more

Three little girls are stranded on a desert island。 They explore the jungle and discover magical animals and wildflowers that can talk。 It even appears to snow in this strange jungle。 The girls explore the wildness all around them and the wildness within themselves as well。 The only thing that can kill the magic is reality。I actually started crying after reading this book， because it was just that beautiful and sweet！ The girls are so imaginative and charming！ I love the sisterly camaraderie bet Three little girls are stranded on a desert island。 They explore the jungle and discover magical animals and wildflowers that can talk。 It even appears to snow in this strange jungle。 The girls explore the wildness all around them and the wildness within themselves as well。 The only thing that can kill the magic is reality。I actually started crying after reading this book， because it was just that beautiful and sweet！ The girls are so imaginative and charming！ I love the sisterly camaraderie between them， and the way the older sister takes care of the younger ones。I love the themes about the power of imagination！ There are so many positive messages in this book。 In a jungle where anything could happen， the plot keeps you guessing about what might pop up next。 The art work is absolutely beautiful！ The graceful lines invite the reader into a reverie where every scene is whimsical and fun。 I love the cute designs of the characters and their expressive faces。 Even their body language says something about their personalities。What a complete delight！ I wish I could give it 10 stars！ Disclaimer: I received a copy of this book from the publisher in exchange for a free and honest review。 All the opinions stated here are my own true thoughts， and are not influenced by anyone。 。。。more

It's a great early reader book。 The vocabulary is accessible， but this book also works on expanding a child's current vocabulary， The story is a little disjointed， with a series of scenes rather than a comprehensive story， until you understand exactly why at the end。 I will say that the ending was fabulous and really made me love the story It's a great early reader book。 The vocabulary is accessible， but this book also works on expanding a child's current vocabulary， The story is a little disjointed， with a series of scenes rather than a comprehensive story， until you understand exactly why at the end。 I will say that the ending was fabulous and really made me love the story 。。。more

I love toon books。 They make easy readers in graphic novel format and this book does not disappoint。 A trio of sisters crash a plane on a deserted island。 But the island is not as deserted as they think it is。 This story is simple but wonderful， and the illustrations are gorgeous。

The jungle makes you feel things you don't understand。 Liniers is a master at creating the believable child and mimicking an authentically unexpected， yet winning， childlike imagination。 I adored Written and Drawn by Henrietta and this story is equally as good and likely to be more popular。 Full of adventure and spot-on interactions between three， young sisters。 A magical， graphic novel， beginning reader。 The jungle makes you feel things you don't understand。 Liniers is a master at creating the believable child and mimicking an authentically unexpected， yet winning， childlike imagination。 I adored Written and Drawn by Henrietta and this story is equally as good and likely to be more popular。 Full of adventure and spot-on interactions between three， young sisters。 A magical， graphic novel， beginning reader。 。。。more

What an awesome book for early/new readers （grades 1-2）！ The beautifully done illustrations really helped to show how wonderful a child’s imagination can be！ And I love how the pages are formatted with some having multiple illustrations and others with just one。 It really keeps your eyes busy trying to take in all that can be found。 At first I thought the story was going to be bit a scary for this age group but as it progressed I realized what was going on。 If that concern hadn’t been there I wo What an awesome book for early/new readers （grades 1-2）！ The beautifully done illustrations really helped to show how wonderful a child’s imagination can be！ And I love how the pages are formatted with some having multiple illustrations and others with just one。 It really keeps your eyes busy trying to take in all that can be found。 At first I thought the story was going to be bit a scary for this age group but as it progressed I realized what was going on。 If that concern hadn’t been there I would’ve given it a full five stars。 Thanks to the Toon Books and NetGalley for the opportunity to read and review this wonderful children’s book！ 。。。more

Delightfully detailed illustrations celebrate the magic of imaginative outdoor play。

I love the imagination in this book and believe it is well suited for the intended 1-2 grade audience。 Three kids imagine all kinds of things from talking flowers to dragons and more until they are called in for dinner。 For kids who love pretend play and can get lost in a yard full of ordinary things for hours， this will be a delightful read despite the intentionally simple text。

*SPOILER ALERT*This book had me sooooooo confused。 I was like "Why don't they care that the plane crashed？ Why aren't they hurt？ Why is there a pocket gorilla？" Of course it ends up that it is all a pretend game they are playing outside。 I did enjoy the beautiful ink and water illustrations。 *SPOILER ALERT*This book had me sooooooo confused。 I was like "Why don't they care that the plane crashed？ Why aren't they hurt？ Why is there a pocket gorilla？" Of course it ends up that it is all a pretend game they are playing outside。 I did enjoy the beautiful ink and water illustrations。 。。。more

A plane crashes on a verdant island！ Three sisters， are aboard， and luckily they're all unharmed。They start to explore the island and encounter all sorts of plants and wildlife， some of the dragon variety。 There is danger， and there's a butterfly called Bill。It's all told in comic form， like a gentle graphic novel for beginners。 Very charming art， not a lot of story， but possibly not that important。3。5 stars（Picked up an ARC on Edelweiss） A plane crashes on a verdant island！ Three sisters， are aboard， and luckily they're all unharmed。They start to explore the island and encounter all sorts of plants and wildlife， some of the dragon variety。 There is danger， and there's a butterfly called Bill。It's all told in comic form， like a gentle graphic novel for beginners。 Very charming art， not a lot of story， but possibly not that important。3。5 stars（Picked up an ARC on Edelweiss） 。。。more
