Book Review as eBook
The BN Review, Barnes & Noble’s online, all-original book review, is doing something pretty cool: the site has enlisted cartoonist Ward Sutton to review children’s books by drawing cartoons on top of images from the books themselves. In the first installment of what BN Review promises will be a regular feature called Father Knows Books, Sutton reviews Otis by Loren Long, published this past September by Penguin.
In a sequence that is reminiscent of the For Beginners Series books from Steerforth press, which explain the work of philosophers and writers using comics, Sutton comments on Otis, the story of a living tractor, by placing a drawing of himself in the book’s illustrations, speaking through word-bubbles in which he says things like, “You might not think a tractor would be much of a character…but Long does an amazing job of bringing Otis to frolicking life with his playful drawings.”
