I absolutely loved this book!! I picked this book because my mom’s name is Monique, so I thought it would be a good pick. I picked the right one I guess because I loved it!! The book was about a young girl who was starting school and she couldn't stand her boring uniform. So, she went into her mom’s chest upstairs and picked out a crazy red hat and went to school and everyone noticed her just as she wanted. The school wasn't too happy about it though, so they made her take her hat off. She went home and then found red glasses out of the chest. She wore them to school and the school made her take them off. So, she went home looked for more stuff to wear and the school always told her take everything off that wasn't school uniform. So, finally she came to school with braces! There was no way they could tell her that she couldn't have her braces on, so she got what she wanted. She always wanted to be different and that she was because no one had braces in school. I loved the message behind the book. It's not about not listening to the school because she did listen to them when they told her take her stuff off. It was more of being persistent and unique. She just wanted to be different than everyone else; I love that because in today’s society everyone wants to be the same no one has originality. It's all about what the next person is doing. ( )

Unique Monique by Maria Rousaki is a short yet powerful story and personally, I thought it was a very enjoyable read. Not only does the overall message keep the reader engaged, but the illustrations also draw in the reader. For example, when Monique finds the trunk in her attic and decides to wear the red hat to school tomorrow, the reader can see how happy she is. We also see how amazed the other students are when Monique decides to stand out but to Monique, she’s just trying to be herself. Being that this is also a kindergarten or 1st grade book, the illustrations are very straight forward as they should be. The biggest part of this book is the incredible theme. Throughout the story, we see that even though Monique goes to a school where she is required to wear uniforms, she still wants to stand out and be different. Every time she tries to make her uniform look more unique, she is turned down and told she isn’t allowed to do so. The determination to stand out and be different that the author portrays in unique is amazing. Monique doesn’t give up, in the end, she becomes different in a way no one can tell her not to. We should all be a little more like Monique! ( )

I enjoyed this book. I believe that the author did a great job writing it. The author’s use of color imagery was spectacular throughout this whole book. For example she describes Monique’s hat to be red and big like a tomato. Using imagery whether it was color imagery or imagery created through a metaphor, the author allows the readers to get a true picture of what the author is describing. On the other hand, the tone and text of the story was straight forward, leaving nothing to the imagination. For example, the author writes, “The one who wasn’t upset was Monique. She found other things in her mother’s old trunk.” I think that if the author had left the last sentence off, it would have created a more playful tone, leaving the readers wanting more. I believe that the big message of this picture book was that everyone should strive to be themselves, and find something that makes unique ( no pun intended).

The book Unique Monique by Maria Rousaki is an enjoyable book about a little girl named Monique who hates her school uniform because it does not allow the children to express themselves and be different. Monique decides she wanted to be unique, so she went through her mothers old trunk of accessories and found some things to wear. As she would wear a new article of clothing to school, the next day all of the other students would copy her look. The principal of the school kept banning each accessory, until Monique came in wearing something that did not break any of the rules. The illustrations in this book are very fun, keeping the reader engaged and amused as they read. They are very colorful and help the reader get a feel of Monique’s emotions throughout the book. The main idea of this book is that no matter how you choose to dress, being yourself and being individual is what really matters. Monique does a great job of being a leader and trying her best to be unique even though it is not the easiest in a uniformed school. ( )

Monique loved being unique at her school. Although they wore uniforms, Monique wanted to be different from the rest so one day she found a lot of her mother's old items and wore a different one to school each day. Her teacher continued to get mad at her as the students followed her lead everyday. Eventually Monique stopped wearing her mothers items, and got braces which made her different from the rest. This shows students that they don't need specific items or clothing to be different from the rest and they can be unique in their own way, while still following the rules! ( )
