Review of Stevie Tenderheart Books WAIT A MINUTE! (An Illustrated Novella)
[Following is a volunteer review of "Stevie Tenderheart Books WAIT A MINUTE! (An Illustrated Novella)" by Steve William Laible.]
"Wait a Minute!" by Steve William Laible is an illustrated children's book that follows the imaginative escapades of Stevie in his bedroom. Stevie is a young boy with a deep affection for animals and a love for games. He envisions transforming his bed into a mini-playground or a diverse zoo housing an array of animals.
This children’s book was a wonderful read, teeming with the limitless imagination of its protagonist, Stevie. His fantastical antics unfurled in his most cherished place: his bed. Much like that of many children, Stevie’s imagination began with simple concepts, like substituting toys for animals. However, as he confronted hurdles, his ideas evolved into more elaborate schemes. Each epiphany about the impracticality of his plans was punctuated with the book’s signature phrase: “Wait a minute!”
Laible demonstrated exceptional prowess in capturing the essence of Stevie’s vibrant imagination and youthful antics. The writing style was playful, with a creative storyline and a relatable central character. Laible employed a medley of literary devices that would undoubtedly enchant young readers, such as rhymes, onomatopoeia, and personification. Furthermore, the strategic manipulation of font formats, such as changes in size and color, added another layer of engagement. Color-coding words to correspond with their meanings, for instance, would facilitate children in forming associations and enhancing recall.
The illustrations in this book were also highly commendable. Despite the bustling activity within each illustration, the artwork never lost its whimsical charm and created visually interactive spectacles that hooked me into the narrative. The visuals retained a cartoonish style that brought me back to my childhood.
Overall, I gave this book 5 out of 5 stars. "Wait a Minute!" by Steve William Laible was an absolute gem. I have nothing negative to say about this book. I found myself engrossed in the story and utterly charmed by Stevie's limitless imagination. The prose is flawless and devoid of any errors or profanity. The level of precision in the editing enhanced my immersion. Moreover, the content is wholesome and appropriate for young readers.
I wholeheartedly recommend "Wait a Minute" to young children, particularly kindergarteners and above. They would never get bored of this book and its wild concepts.
