MIDWEST BOOK REVIEW: Born Bad is an accessible and lighthearted picture book that cleverly introduces young readers ages 4-9 to issues surrounding identity and transformation through humor and surprising animal facts. Born Bad is highly recommended, especially for community, daycare center, preschool, elementary school, and community library picturebook collections. LET'S TALK PICTURE BOOKS: The mixed-media illustrations are loud and colorful and downright exciting to look at. As the wolf asks new questions, the variety of animals that pops up explores popular expressions like "a wolf in sheep's clothing" and "can a leopard change its spots." It gives readers a chance to make some connections between common phrases and the concepts they represent as well as to identify animals on the page. The characters themselves are super friendly and accessible, with the wolf in non-threatening positions throughout that make readers sympathize with him and want him to succeed in his journey of self-actualization. CREATIVE REVIEW: Stephen Smith is no stranger to creating casts of characters that set out to intrigue and delight. In Born Bad, his main focus was to translate the story into illustrations that children would love and respond to. He also wanted the picture book to be read in different ways, and for adults to enjoy it too. AOI: Born Bad both feels and looks generous. The paper and print quality serve to present Stephen's images at their best, the colors are deep and exciting, the shapes and textures as crisp and clear as the paper-cut originals. The book format allows the designs to make full impact, where the force of the colors is intensified by the simplicity of the forms they adorn. THE MIDWEST BOOK REVIEW: Born Bad tells of Wolf, who realizes that his appearance in the mirror seems to indicate he's a bad creature. And when he looks bad, he feels bad...and then he acts bad. How can this cycle be broken? Wolf consults a variety of creatures who all have ways of dealing with their appearance, but none of their techniques seems to work for him. How can a big bad wolf be less bad? A fun story emerges with lessons for kids and fun for read-aloud parents.

Reseña del editor:

A boldly illustrated tale of acceptance and change.

“Wolf wasn’t happy being Wolf. When he looked in the mirror he looked BAD. And when he looked bad, he felt bad, and when he felt bad, he acted bad.”

Wolf wants to change but he’s not sure how. He goes on a journey, meeting members of the animal kingdom that experience change; a chameleon, a salamander, a seal, a parrotfish and a flatfish, to name a few. With their help he undergoes a magnificent transition...
