The Odd 1s Out: How To Be Cool and Other Things I Definitely Learned from Growing Up
by James Rallison Book Review by Miranda Moses (Fraser) ISBN: 9780143131809 The Odd 1s Out, otherwise known as James, is a very popular youtube channel. He does Animation with adorable cartoon characters who tells stories. They're always funny, wholesome, and definitely family friendly. I will say I expected this story to be more of a graphic novel instead of a 'picture book' but it was still very enjoyable. AND this is his first book so I'm still hopeful for a graphic novel! First of all, I'm a 26 year old woman and I laughed WAY too hard at some of these stories. There's a story in here about his dog vs a chihuahua and I literally laughed so hard I woke my husband up. If I could laugh so hard at this than I'm sure the whole family can find amusement in these stories. He shares various memories of his family life, siblings, parents, school, etc. and how he survived. It made me smile because I could relate to living with a bunch of siblings and also hopeful that my own kids will have these kind of relationships. Secondly, I was a little disappointed that these were mostly stories he's already told online. If not all of them (possible I've missed or forgotten one or two). Now, if you're a big fan of his work (or your kids are) this may not matter to you. But if you're looking for a book with all new stories or comic strips, this isn't the case. Still fantastic and colorful! But stories that have already been shared. I still laughed all the same though! In conclusion, if your kids are a big fan, or you are, and you've been debating about getting this book. I say go for it! It's a cute read to have on your shelf, it's feel good stories when you need them, and a great way to support an artist who really deserves it. Read on my fellow book worms, may we one day have Belle's Library. And as always links to the author's pages can be found down below.
