Good adventure, excellent drawings.,
This review is from: Sadie the Air Mail Pilot (Hardcover)
My wife bought this book for our 6 year old daughter (8 now). Our daughter loved it and we have often seen her re reading it and telling the story to her younger cousins when they come for a sleep over.
The illustrations are excellent. A fun happy childrens book. Highly recommended.

Amazing illustrations,
By Greg J. Lovern - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Sadie the Air Mail Pilot (Hardcover)
These are some of the most fascinating illustrations I've seen in a children's book. They are a madcap, anachronistic combination of retro and futuristic, realistic and fantasy. The cityscape pictures bring to mind the 1927 movie Metropolis. Many airplanes are pictured, all in great detail. Some are fairly realistic depictions of real airplanes. Some look like they could have been based on real, futuristic drawings made long ago. Some are whimsical. Some look like they could be based on real toys. All are so cute you want to grab them right off of the page and examine them.
I'd like to hear from a flight history expert on which ones appear to be based on real historic planes, and what those planes were. A few of them are named here: [...] The pictures are beautiful, and full of interesting detail. The other night I was reading it to my kids for at least the 10th time (their choice), and noticed a little creature for the first time. My kids and I both enjoy just staring at the pictures, mesmerized at all the details. I was disappointed to learn that this is the author's first book, so there are no previous ones to dig up. I hope there are more to come in the future. He (yes, Kellie Strom is a man) is certainly off to a great start. The story is ordinary but okay.

It's very well illustrated and wrote. My 4 year old loves it and has memorized alot of it to read to me. I would recommend this to anyone.

Absolutely stunning artwork!,
By Richard Green "artbot" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Sadie the Air Mail Pilot (Hardcover)
We'd been frequenting the fabulous Museum of Flight in Seattle with our 3 year old, so I've been looking for a book my son would enjoy that involved airplanes. At first glance I was absolutely captivated by the artwork in this book. The story is solid and has a nice mix of situations and characters, but the real treats here are its sumptuous illustrations.
They are so full of life and wonderment that even I never get tired of looking at them. Best of all, my son's wide eyes just languidly float around the pages, in seeming disbelief at the detail and pure imagination on display. This is one book that I will add to my personal art book collection long after my son has grown. That is, if he lets me have it back at some point. My dream is that there are someday 10 more of these wonderful stories with Sadie and the gang in a series. The character and setting sure seem ripe for a series, and I'll be there day-one to buy each of them, even if my son is a teenager by then! |
