Review

This sequel to the Caldecott Honor Book Journey, Quest by Aaron Becker follows in the same wordless picture book format. Quest picks up right where Journey left off with a young girl and her new friend on a new adventure. Reminiscent of Harold and the Purple Crayon, readers will be fascinated by the children's use of their imagination and their trusted colored markers to save the king and his kingdom. The gorgeous illustrations are intricately detailed, while the dull colors bring the readers eye to the bright colors of the children's markers and the imaginative things that they create to help them on their adventure. This book is sure to spark the reader's imagination. Recommended for pre-K - 6th grade.

Overall Book Score: good
