Review of Will You Talk to Me?
[Following is a volunteer review of "Will You Talk to Me?" by Margie Carstens.]
Title: Will You Talk to Me?
Author: Margie Carstens
Publisher: Palmetto Year Published: 2022
Format: pdf/ e-book
Intended audience: children
Page Count: 34
The cover design is well done in a simple yet colorful and eye-catching style that will appeal to both children and adults alike. The cover effectively conveys the content of the book as well as the primary characters, a young girl and a hummingbird. The writing is well-done, inventive, and rich in imagery, which will entice youngsters and adults alike to read the book and easily visualize the actions, setting, and words. Throughout the book, the images are delightfully artistic, vivid, and fascinating. The graphics complement the text in the book, creating a vivid vision that correctly captures the words, environment, messages, and emotions of the young girl and hummingbird. The author skillfully distinguishes between the young girl's thoughts and her spoken words in the pictures by depicting her thoughts in various shades of brown and the remainder of the illustration in various other hues. The author does this to allow young readers to recognize the young girl's thoughts from her spoken words and the ordinary text of the book while also providing an opportunity to learn about the distinction between spoken words and thoughts. The book serves as a reminder and beautiful learning opportunity for young and older readers alike about the learning of self-confidence, self-realization, embracing one's uniqueness, being mindful and respectful of others, the art of imagery in words, hummingbirds and their meanings and abilities, the downsides and upsides regarding comparison to others, and finally the ability to love and appreciate the little and big things in life, from hummingbirds in the sky to whales in the ocean. The book offers a delightful story full of gorgeous art, words, and images for teachers, librarians, and parents to utilize in helping young readers learn and grow in the art of learning and living.
The negative aspects of the book were that the book's word size is small, and the dark blue font color is at times difficult to read against the light blue background. To improve readability, the author might change the font color to black or gray and increase the font size on text-only pages.
The book was well-edited and written, with no typos, grammar, spelling, or flow mistakes. The book has no sexual content (0 out of 5). The book also contains no profanity (0 out of 5).
The book would be a simple, enjoyable, instructive, and compelling read for a child or adult of any age.
I would give Margie Carstens' Will You Talk to Me a 5 out of 5 rating. I gave the book this rating because it was error-free, taught vital lessons such as accepting one's uniqueness, had vivid images that complemented the text, and the overall plot was well thought out.
I encourage parents, teachers, librarians, or anybody who has or works with children aged 4 and up to give this book a chance because it provides fantastic learning opportunities as well as the opportunity for children to read while using visual aids. I would also recommend this book to children and young people aged 4 and up who want a book with visual aids and vital lessons like respecting others, easy-to-read writing, and animals.
