Hey, Al by Richard Egielski, Arthur Yorinks

3.0

A beautifully illustrated story with a "grass isn't always greener" moral dropped in at the very last second. It almost seems to imply that ambition is a bad thing, but I would hope that it meant to go for the "no easy fix" route.

Just a silly story about cows. :-)

I loved this story! I still don't know if Byerley is a robot or not, but that only makes the story more incredible.

Robots created without the Second Law are, without a doubt, something that will happen. In this story, it did happen and the results were interesting. What happens when you tell a robot not encoded with the Second Law to get lost?

This story was intriguing and terrifying for several reasons. One, is it necessary to completely destroy a planet just because it's lifeforms are different from ours - just because it wants to integrate us into it's existing lifeforms? Two, is it so terrifying to humans to know what everyone and everything around you feels and thinks? Three, is it possible to exist in such a state and still retain your humanity?
I love mud and mud loves me by Vicki Stephens, Vicki Stephens

This is an adorable book about a little boy getting gross, muddy, and disgusting because the he loves the mess (and the mess loves him). It ends, thankfully, with the kids taking a bath because he knows his mother doesn't love the mess even if he does, and since he loves his mother he wants her to be happy. I think it's a nice lesson in having fun your way and in selflessness without being overhanded.

In fact, provided that parents don't shove "see he loves his mother so he took a bath" down their own children's throat while reading this with/to them, I think many children will take that message away on their own.

I didn't like how difficult it was to read Deadpool's lines in the Thunderbolts comics, but I loved the story arc!
