Children's ✦ Penny’s Take
Ta-Da!
Kathy Davis · 2018
78/100
👍 Worth It
Two kids building rival fantasy worlds is a genuinely clever premise, and Davis's singsong text keeps the pages turning. The storytelling-needs-conflict lesson lands naturally rather than feeling imposed. Kaylani Juanita's debut illustrations are the real star here — magical and inventive in ways that linger.
