December 04, 2008:
This three-story book set seems an enigma at first glance, as there are no written words except for the titles. Then, it becomes a beloved tale as the reader wanders into a new mythical land at the beginning of time where elves, gnomes, trolls, pixies, and other creatures are the weebeasts that explore, settle the land, and begin their own traditions and culture. This first volume in a projected series is an origin tale with the words to be filled in by the young reader, encouraging language development and a never-ending realm of storytelling where the child will make up names and adventures for the characters.
Micah Linton?s imaginative story and illustrations are vivid, compelling, and extraordinary. The rich watercolor illustrations allow the reader?s imaginative eye to roam, filling in the story as she goes. For instance in one illustration a weebeast is on a cliff opposite huge colorful beasts (or are they monsters?), on another cliff. What will happen? What is the weebeast saying? This set of books is a valuable contribution to a family library, a classroom language development center, and can be especially useful in an English as a Second Language setting. If you visit the web site, you will find even more delightful information as well as a weebeast plush toy to add to a child?s imaginative play. Weebeastology is highly recommended for children as young as preschoolers, who love to pour over pictures, up to middle to young high schoolers in an ESL or special education classes. Enjoy your read!

June 13, 2008: We have a 7 mth old and while she is too small to understand the story, she was mesmerized by the fantastic art work and my husband and I loved the way the book was written and how everything rhymed. We can't wait for book 2 to come out as we want to travel on this adventure with the Weebeasts. Also, my daughter has the weebeast toy and seems to really like it! Highly recommend this book esp to parents who have older kids.
