Andrew’s Armor by Jill Monaco is a cute, faith-based, and inspirational story aimed at children aged 4 to 10 years. The story is accompanied by sweet, colourful, and engaging illustrations which really help fire the imagination and bring the story to life.
Andrew loves to dress in his armor and play with his friends- setting off on many adventures… but what happens when his confidence is challenged? He is about to learn some valuable lessons-
While the story and illustrations were quite well done, I did notice that due to the illustrations being quite bright and detailed, and taking up the whole page in most instances, that the text/written story should have been a bit larger and darker/bolder so it can be more easily read -> because as it stands, the writing is quite faint compared to the images and at times ‘disappears’ into the illustrations/background- which could make it difficult to read for little ones, or at bedtime in dimmer light.
But, it is a cute little adventure story with some important messages and lessons.
Happy Reading…
