Negative Positive
Title: Original story, soft intricately detailed illustrations.
Review: Devin Scillian spins for young readers his fable of Fibblestax and how he came to be the one who names everything. He has to battle the tricky, red-faced Carr, a man who "gives terrible names to wonderful things". The mayor of their town gives them five things to name, and the final one stumps Carr, but can Fibblestax rise to the challenge? Kathryn Darnell's soft, intricately detailed illustrations perfectly showcase Scillian's original, entertaining story told throughout in rhyming couplets.
