Read by request of Lucy, and out of my own enjoyment of 'Animal Crossing'.

They call Tom Nook 'Wayne', which for some reason I find absolutely hilarious. 😂😂

You know, I liked it all right. It is very much the game as if it were a book. She picks weeds and sells them, she meets other villagers, she eats apples or cherries for energy, she fishes for fish. It started fine like, ok, she doesn't have a slingshot, so she needs to buy one or she doesn't have a house so she needs to buy one, but then there were some tools that she magically had without us knowing how she got them. For story purposes, I think it's okay to not explain every single tool, but maybe add in a general sentence about, "Now I can use my crafting table to make more tools!" or something. Would I read the 2nd one? I'd see what the plot is. I'd love to see how they do special visitors like the ghost, the washed up bird, or the fish challenge.

I am a beginner to Animal Crossing and I thought the book taught me some very good tips for when I play the game.
