Looice

I won this book in a Goodreads Giveaway. Looice is a story in which the character displays a simple joy of life in the body of a child and the beard of a grown male. This symbolically shows us that no matter our age, we are capable of enjoying life and seeing it and experiencing how we want to. We are free to use our imagination and create our own magic. Looice is in all of us. Thank you for my copy!

Love the Illustrations!

The illustrations are absolutely beautiful. Stoney could use more. It was not actually clear who the intended audience may be. However, this is worthwhile because it does take you pleasantly by surprise.

LOOICE IS SIMPLY FUNDERFUL

LOOICE IS AWESOME
funny and silly and yet makes perfect sense
for a child who still believes in wonder and
Surprises.

confusing story

Looks like this is a really old book… illustrations are poor by today’s standards, fonts are extremely variable and text is often hard to read.
I didn’t see anything to object to, just nothing major to recommend it.
