Sometimes Siblinghood Stinks: When I Was King

Friday, December 12, 2008.

When I Was King Author: Linda Ashman (on JOMB)
Illustrator: David McPhail (on JOMB)
Published: 2008 Harper Collins (on JOMB)
ISBN: 006029051X

When we feel better about ourselves, we feel better about everything.

Shadowy, Sendakian illustrations and spot-on, multiply paced rhyming text take us for one spin around the familiar first-born cycle of resentment, rage, worry, the relief of being understood, warm fuzziness and back to the joy of siblinghood in this reassuring glimpse inside a shared spotlight.

One of the many things we enjoy about producing Just One More Book!! is receiving listener feedback and book reviews. We’ve heard from children, parents, and podcasters… and on a few occasions we’ve even accosted people to tell us about their favourite children’s books and fond memories of them — whether from their own childhood, with their own children or others. Everyone we’ve spoken to has had a great story to tell about children’s books.

It’s easy to share the stories about your favourite children’s books. We have voice feedback number and all you have to do is leave us a message and we’ll share your submission with the Just One More Book community. Call 206-350-6487 and record your review after the tone in the same way you’d leave a message on someone’s answering machine.

This listener submitted review comes from Kevin Hodgson from Kevin’s Meandering Mind blog. Kevin is a familiar name here. This is his third submission – proving just how easy it is to be a part of our show.

This time, Kevin reviews Mole Music (by David McPhail).
