Rules of Summer

Review
The summary says it's about two brothers who review the "rules they learned over the summer." The rules are rather straightforward--know your way home, never lose a fight--but it's the illustrations that make this book special. Not the cute, sweet, warm brotherly drawings. They're almost harsh, rather strange--almost alien-like--but they are fantastic! This is a very sophisticated picture book, for the older reader to take in both word and illustration!
Overall Book Score: excellent
