Lotus : How Queen Francine, the Fix-It Fanatic, Got Her Incredibly Clean Car Paint Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Lotus, a modern-day fairy tale, is a wonderful story that cleverly mixes fantasy and science while remaining completely accessible to an audience of both children and adults. It's so refreshing to read a fairy tale whose message is not the pretty=good, ugly=bad theories that I grew up with, but rather presents characters that are motivated to make the world a better place, to help the environment and (yes!) find personal happiness. Worthy encourages the reader to use his/her brain, with a little help from scientific discoveries, to improve their sociological and environmental surroundings - a tall order for a short book.
Worthy writes expertly, incorporating humor and creating vivid images. I love the descriptions of Queen Francine's empire and delightful drawings by the author. I can't wait for the next in the series!
