Storybook Favorites

One of the previous Storybooks that I found interest is The Book of Mormon. I know a great deal about the content already but the title correctly describes what the content will be about. It was interesting for the narrator to be a report around 600 b.c. It gives a different spin on the story. The physical design was also great, and everything was clear to search and navigate through. However, even though the pictures are great, they do not seem to further instruct the reader on the current topic. Most of the pictures are not part of the story, but part of how the Book of Mormon came to be.

Another Storybook that I liked was Holiday Spirit. The introduction gives a good overview of the different holiday origins, but tells you just enough for you go to into the main part of the story. When I first clicked on the link, I was expecting the book to be just about Christmas because the phrase "holiday cheer" is so commonly used around Christmas time.The layout of the Storybook looks great. The only thing I could find that I would change is the red font on the "Santa's Little Helpers" part of the storybook.

A third Storybook that interested me was Happily Ever After? A Prince's Perspective. The title is great at accurately describing the contents of the book. The Story cleverly mentions all of the male actors and how the stories could be told quite different if they were the narrators. It is well laid out so you can quickly switch to the other Princes, However, the images are all towards the bottom of the screen. Putting them towards the middle the screen gives the reader a quick break from reading before continuing onward.
