It is super funny and I love the pictures, and how the story plays out.

I like this book because it's funny.

A beautifully written book about Shakespeare's family and the era in which he lived. The title refers to his son Hamnet who died of the plague and inspired Shakespeare to write Hamlet. But the main character is really Shakespeare's wife, a woman who does not fit easily into the norms expected for a woman in those days. She is independent and a healer who is more comfortable in the woods than at the hearth. Great book!

Very sweet

my favorite type of stories are "a woman scorned." found this book from the movie and i fell in love with it. i had to read the book and i did enjoy the read although didn't love the matter of fact writing from the author and the movie got major plot points right where this book didn't hit the same for me in many ways. i give the story 5 stars but the book itself a 2- so i averaged it out to a 3 to be fair. happy to have read it and have found another comfort movie!

Amazing

I liked the cute faces of Alvin and his brother. They make it look real.

What a beautiful book! It's hard to believe it's a debut novel - the octopus is so tenderly rendered that my heart broke for him. The other characters in the book are richly rendered and endearing. Highly recommend!

Funny

It's a book that has no pictures and whoever is reading has to say everything that the book says.
