Customer Reviews

Enjoyed the short stories!

I very much enjoyed all of the short stories in this book! Graphic novels are my favorite. I just wish the stories were a little longer. I was left wanting just a bit more. More detail, a little more character development. There is one story called the butter thief that I found really cute and interesting, but they never tell you at the end of the story why the spirit needed all that butter. But maybe thats the goal with these stories. Will definitely be purchasing the next book!
