There are only a few children’s writers in this world that I will drop everything to read. There are some authors, however, that write such magnificent books that when their sequels do appear you are helpless to resist. Usually when I do I simply get more of the same old, same old. Heck, I don’t even like to even read sequels half the time. This is my convoluted way of saying that I don’t like reviewing them. ![]() And in the rare case where the sequel is better than its predecessor, one’s positive review is sort of moot if it seems as though it’s recommending the first book in any way. One can hardly review a book without suggesting to the reader that they read the previous novel as well. ![]() As I see it, reviewing a sequel is a peculiar enterprise. ![]()
