I just love Wenda!,

This review is from: Wenda the Wacky Wiggler (The Rainbow Collection) (Hardcover)
Wenda the Wacky Wiggler is bound to be like a child you know. There's always a spirited child around, who can't seem to stop moving because of the joy and happiness they feel from within. My son is very much like Wenda... always on the go, always moving, always happy.
Christopher Aslan really brings a posiitve attitude toward these kinds of children. Grumpy adults that just want peace and quiet are unable to enjoy life like Wenda. Wenda the Wacky Wiggler reminds us all to let go and enjoy what life brings to us. It isn't as hard as we think... and just like Wenda, when we let go and let happiness in, we can do so much more with what we have! I really love this story and I honestly believe that this is the kind of book that will one day be bound in a book of classics. It reminds me of the kinds of stories found in The Children's Book of Virtues. I fully anticipate seeing Christopher Aslan's Wenda in a book like that one day!

Reviewed by: Wayne Walker
Have you ever heard certain people described as "marching to the beat of a different drummer"? It is often used to identify those who are willing to stand apart from the crowd and just be themselves. Wenda is a unique girl who is always wiggling and dancing and moving and tapping with joy to some kind of beat. Even in the middle of the night, her toe wiggles while she is asleep. However, when Wenda comes to town, the grumpy and gloomy townsfolk do not like her wiggling because it makes them grouchy and cranky, so the mayor orders that all music be stopped. But when Wenda keeps dancing, they wonder, "How can this be?" Well, there is still a little bird chirping its song. The mayor orders the animal catcher to get the bird and lock it in his truck. Now there is no music at all. What will Wenda do? Is she totally defeated? This is the second book in author Christopher Aslan's series of children's picture books, The Rainbow Collection. Like the first book, Lilly and Lucy's Shadow, Wendy the Wacky Wiggler is based on the universal themes of love and wisdom that both parents and children can enjoy together. While we must always be concerned about our reputation and the ways in which our actions affect people, children also ought to learn that they should not let the negativity of others put a damper on their love of life and its resultant joy of spirit. As someone once said, it's not so important what happens to us but what happens inside us that really counts. The rhyming text is quite appropriate both for preschoolers in a read-aloud setting and for beginning readers to try to read for themselves. And the storybook-like drawings by illustrator Emily Mullock are very attractive. The two combine to present an important lesson for children to hear.

An infectiously high-spirited story,
By Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Wenda the Wacky Wiggler (The Rainbow Collection) (Hardcover)
Wenda the Wacky Wiggler is a rhyming children's picturebook about a young girl who is constantly dancing and wiggling with joy. The more somber townspeople are discomfited, and take away all the music. At first she despairs, but then she comes to understand that the exuberance that fuels her dancing comes from inside! An infectiously high-spirited story brought to life with extravagantly playful color illustrations.
