BOOK EXPLORERS
Every book I've reviewed, and what I gave it
The Belly Laugh Scale
I'm Jimmy Vee. I write funny picture books, and I read a lot of other people's. Book Explorers is where I say what I actually think of them.
Every review gives you the same things: what the book is really about, how it plays when you read it out loud, what other reviewers said, the reading level, and a Belly Laugh Scale score out of 5. I don't hand out fives. If a famous book doesn't land, I say so.
