Storybook Favorites

These are a few of my favorites from looking through the Storybook! 

Happily Ever After? A Prince’s Perspective

From the beginning, the title caught my attention because everyone always talks about the fairy tales through the eyes of the princesses but we never see the story from the prince’s perspective.  This was something that I think everybody is familiar with but with a different approach.  The introduction did a great job at giving a brief summary of what is to find within each story.  This caught my attention and made me want to continue reading about each situation with the princesses and the princes because of the cliffhanger they produced.  I enjoy the images used throughout the page because it kept my attention and gave me something to picture while I read the stories.

Lost In Wonderland

I love the background of this page and the overall ambiance that this page creates.  It makes the reader feel like they are actually in the story itself.  This caught my eye because I always enjoy reading stories about Alice in Wonderland.  The only thing I did not like about this page was the introduction.  They did not do a very good job at summarizing and giving a preface of what the story will be about so it did not keep me wanting to read the story.

Mermaid Tails

Mermaid stories are always enticing, so this page in particular caught my attention.  After reading the introduction, it pulled me in to keep reading even more.  The idea of mermaids has always fascinated me so reading these tales about mermaids is something that I think a lot of people are interested in.  I wish the introduction had a few images to put the picture in the head of the reader but overall I love the layout.  The blue goes along with the theme of mermaids and the ocean. I really enjoyed the background information on the mermaids that the author provided, as well, because not too many people know that much about mermaids and where all the tales originate.
