Tomo Takes Flight by Trevor Lai - NO

Lai, Trevor Tomo Takes Flight.  PICTURE BOOK.  Imprint (Macmillan), 2017.  $18. 

When his father leaves the island on a trip, Tomo builds a machine to do his work and heads off to complete another mission in his Adventure Journal.  This time he and his friend Maya help a  rare bird.

ILai illustrations are bright and inviting, even if they feel very cartoon computer animated.  The story, however, requires big leaps of logic to make sense, and at the end it has Tomo lying to his father, which I can’t encourage.

NOT RECOMMENDED.  Cindy, Library Teacher
