Review of

Adventures in Cartooning, by James Sturm, Andrew Arnold and Alexis Frederick-Frost ISBN 9780545249652


Three out of five stars

 Although the cover indicates that this is a book about creating cartoons and there is some information about the mechanics of creating cartoons, it primarily a book that contains cartoons. The hero is a knight with a horse named Edward and there is a candy chugging dragon that must be defeated. Overseeing it all is a magic elf that is also an expert in creating cartoons.

 There are other characters, such as a whale, knights that have been turned into vegetables and a princess that must be rescued. The story itself is not terribly imaginative, there is some humor and it is all juvenile. If the authors had concentrated more on describing how to create cartoons, this would have been a much better book.
