Cute. I really like this one. ( )

Granted I may be the only person of this opinion, but I found this book idiotic. I had high expectations for it, as I liked the concept, and it looked very cute. But the story was just carried in such an inane manner. The pictures do have a lot of cuteness about them, and they are the saving grace of the book, I especially liked some of the spreads that were split between the four "friends". However, that wasn't enough for me, the rest I found uninspired and cheap. Even my 4 year old asked me, by the second page: "Really? These are their names: One, Two, Three and Four?!" And I agree with him so much, I mean, couldn't the author have put in a little effort to come up with better names? The next issue I had was with their differences, again I thought they could have centered about something infinitely more clever. Or what? Maybe this is supposed to be good enough for toddlers, but soon it doesn't make any sense. They discussed, then argued, then fought, ugh! They split the house up into walls, floor, windows and door, and even if I put aside the fact that this does not make any sense, it annoys me intensely that there is not any play on this in the rest of the plot, aside from the fact that One makes a raft out of the door. We see Two begin to pull the walls up a mountain, but on the next picture there are no walls to be seen. It doesn't get any better, so even if we can all agree with the naive message of the story, I parted with it quite dissatisfied. And, especially since the author decided to name his heros One, Two, Three ... I couldn't help but compare the book with [b:One|3118349|One|Kathryn Otoshi|http://d.gr-assets.com/books/1328765629s/3118349.jpg|3149675] that we read yesterday, obviously a very unfavorable comparison ...

This was a simple theme-based story. Home is where the heart is summed it nicely. ( )
