Winter and George is a creative children’s book that follows the two title characters as they have an adventure at night. The adventure involves the moon, stars, ocean, and a large squid. The illustrations are mostly in the cool color palette—lots of blues and purples — and I think would appeal to a young reader. The story has one “scary” part, that ultimately resolves, but I think important to warn parents of younger children just in case. I give the story 3.5 stars. It’s extremely creative, but almost too out there (if that’s even possible).

Well, let's just be polite and say the artwork in this can be of a very individual style, and leave it at that, shall we? It's not too bad an example of the transition book, that fills the gap between the young reading a whole book of 200 words and a page of 200. Winter and George take it upon themselves to walk the path of light the moon creates shining across the sea between the pierhead they're sitting on and the far horizon, and have no end of unusual discoveries to make. It might lead to a full series, who can tell at this stage – but while I wouldn't object to more I would say the fabulous colours are the most appealing part to this, with character design and posing a distant third behind the text. Three and a half stars.

This book is about Winter and George who discovers a path on the surface of the ocean. Can they walk on it, and what’s waiting them on this mysterious path?

The characters got a fun adventure, and I think children will really like this. I particularly liked the twist at the end. The book’s artwork was well done, and it was an okay read.
