Hello again, I’m Patrick Healy. For six years I have been writing comic book reviews in addition to my own literary work. This summer, I’m teaching my daughter critical thinking and practicing writing skills through the art of comic books. We invite you to share this experience with us as we develop written and communicative skills. Enjoy!

Hi my name is Keira and I am 8 years old and I am in third grade. I want to be an author, illustrator and a cook. The reason that I started reading comic books was because they looked fun.

The main characters are Strawberry Shortcake and Steve. Strawberry Shortcake needs to get to Big Apple city where she gets to see her cousin Apple Dumpling who takes her to the competition. Even though she was late and she had sloppy presentation she had good food and she won.

I like Strawberry Shortcake because she is nice and she is fun. We are alike because we like to cook. We like strawberries and we are both funny.

I liked that the illustrator put little details in the book. I like that the author had Strawberry Shortcake be sarcastic about a hotel. The last thing that I like is that the author made Strawberry win.

I did not like that Steve was mean to Strawberry Shortcake. I did not like that he thought he was better than Strawberry Shortcake. I did not like when Steve took all the oats.

I think this is a wonderful book. I would recommend this to anyone because I can not really think of anything that was bad about it.
