My Philosophy

My Philosophy: I believe that every good children's book meets the following three criteria: (1) good illustrations, (2) a meaningful plot with conflict, and (3) a sense of wonder or imagination. On this blog I will rate all of the children's books I read based on these criteria.

Eliot Jones, Midnight Superhero



Author: Anne Cottringer
Illustrator: Alex T. Smith

One-Sentence Plot Summary: A quiet little boy lives a double-life as a superhero at night, solving various crimes and saving the world.

This book is brief and powerful. It is well worth your time.

The challenges that Eliot faces as a superhero are unusual, and he comes up with equally-interesting solutions. Each situation creates a unique conflict for Eliot to overcome, each one more challenging than the last.

The pictures are simple but very expressive.

Rating: 5 stars

Worth Getting from the Library: Yes
