Official Review: Sally the Bold by Albert Alarcon Jr

[jcoad]

I love reading reviews of children's book. So much detail and description from a book of pictures. Thanks for the great review and I agree, sounds like a great book for kids.

A children’s picture book about the legend of Sally the Knight sounds cute. The concept of a main female character with a disability convenes a great message to kids. The whimsical drawing is another plus. . Sally does sound like a wonderful character and one kids could relate to. Thank you for the great review!

I totally agree with Gali. We do need more stories with non-conventional protagonists, and this definitely hits the mark. Thanks for the detailed review!

What an amazing way to highlight using your strengths regardless of challenges that could hold you back.

Is this story just about now? I knew of characters in movies who were straddled in wheelchairs, their wheelchairs were virtually moving arsenals, with missiles and machine guns. But I presume, this female heroine of yours must be doing all the works the hard way, and that makes her the greater. Thanks for the fine review.

I always love a story that depicts an individual who isn't deterred by his or her inability! I look forward to reading this to my children!

I'm curious as to what type of "monster" Max is. This sounds like a wonderful tale. I love the female knight and her unique version of a steed.

The locals refer to Max as a "monster." Still, he looked like a cute "generic" beast to me, although he was large.

Rey - No missiles or machine guns on her wheelchair. Sally just used creativity and smarts!

Thanks everyone for the nice feedback! CommMayo - Fearless females - I like that term! Sally certainly fits into that group.
