Storybook 1:

One story book that caught my eye from the very beginning was Delilah's Radio Hour.  The title sparked curiosity in me because I grew up listening to the radio but had never seen a radio show in writing.  I think using a radio show themed storybook was a brilliant way to tell stories.  Almost all radio shows have guests speakers, and these guest speakers get to share their stories.  The introduction clearly states the goal of the book and what the readers should expect.  It also includes the topics of some of the upcoming stories.  The book is easy to navigate through because it is clean looking and organized.  Overall, a job well done!

Storybook 2:

The Range of the Mountains storybook tells stories that take place on some of India's well known mountains.  I love mountains so I had to check this storybook out.  This storybook had some of the best visuals of any of the books I viewed.  The introduction and stories not only included incredible pictures, but had their own background.  The backgrounds were awesome but they didn't distract from the writing.  I really appreciated that!  When reading the introduction, I felt that I could see Mount Meru.  Well, I could because there was a picture of Mount Meru right next to the words.  But if that picture wasn't there, I still think I'd be able to see the mountain through the writing.  That's how well written the introduction was!

Storybook 3:

The best title I think I saw was Tales of the River Ganges.  In the title I already knew that the book was a collection of stories.  I thought flipping the words "River" and "Ganges" was a genius move.  The title "Tales of the Ganges River" just doesn't have the same affect.  Rivers have always been mysterious to me.  Where does the water come from?  Where is the water going?  The stories in this book seem to answer these questions as well as what happens along the middle of the river.  The introduction itself includes a brief story as an example of what's to follow.  This was a very well done storybook!
