The Rock from the Sky

The first story shows Turtle standing in his favourite spot, talking to the reader before Armadillo shows up and believes another spot is better to stand in. The illustrations are pivitol to the stories, they just make the whole book so brilliant and I just love looking back at this book all the time, just to look at the pictures! The book cover itself is matt in appearance and this particular book has more pages than the previous Jon Klassen books I've read. I think because this features five stories in one, it not only makes it good value to buy but it's made me love the characters more as we spend more time with them than the characters of Klassen's other book series.

I love how each of these stories follows on from each other but are all in themselves a fun and separate story to read. There are some really funny moments, I especially love it when Turtle gets constantly annoyed at, and generally becomes annoying to the others although he's ultimately a very funny character. I just love the expressions that the characters always have, those eyes make for perfect comedic moments and timings and I also love the fact that all three characters have hats which is a great nod to Klassen's Hat series of books! Turtle likes to stand in one spot, it's his favourite place to be, but when Armadillo comes along he doesn't have a good feeling about where Turtle is standing and he thinks he should go stand somewhere else.
