Review copy/pasted across all 7 books in this series.
From Funko toys comes this seven part children's picture book series, "Wetmore Forest." We all know Funko from their cute big-eyed toys spanning hundreds of fandoms. Funko decided to create their own toys essentially and came up with these books as companions. The gist of this series follows a group of super-cute "monsters" living in a magical, fantasy world called Wetmore Forest. It's all very sweet and adorable. I'm clearly not the target demographic, but I still had a fun time with these. I definitely recommend these books if you have small children in your life. Kids will delight in the adorable critters and their shenanigans. Like all kids books, these have their lessons. Everything from sharing, caring, tackling your fears, believing in yourself, being innovative, and friendship. The art is bright and vibrant, and fairly detailed, and of course, the word I keep using: adorable! Your kids will most likely enjoy these and then want the accompanying Funko figures that go with them.
