Synopsis:
Most marshmallows are born into marshmallow families, play with marshmallow friends, and go to marshmallow school where they learn to be squishy.
But this book isn't about most marshmallows, is it? No.
That's because author Rowboat Watkins knows that, just like you, some marshmallows have big dreams, and just like you, these marshmallows can do anything they set their minds to.
Our Thoughts:
This is a cute and simple but impactful story about a bunch of marshmallows who live normal marshmallow lives doing things that normal marshmallows do, like have birthdays, go to school, and dream of doing anything they put their marshmallow minds to!
Are we really talking about marshmallows though?
The marshmallows in this story seem pretty human to me, with daily routines and families and hopes and dreams. They even have hair?!
You're sure to have fun reading this humorous little story!
The illustrations are extra unique, with what looks like actual marshmallows that are drawn on to appear like individuals. The other elements in the story, such as the inanimate objects, flowers, background, etcetera appear to be papercrafts, which gives it extra depth and texture.
This was an interesting book to read aloud and discuss with my little one!
