Book review on Rebel by Allan Baillie
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
Hello and call me StoryMaker if you wish. Rebel by Allan Baillie is a picture book and a great story...it's got meaning...it's about standing up instead of falling down into a trap set by a powerful person...it's just so meaningful! The pictures made by the illustrator Di Wu are fantastic! I think they're made with watercolors or some other kind of paint. The plot is basically some strange happenings in a Burmese village. Some big tanks and soldiers come, and soon a bossy general comes. He orders all sorts of things, like giving him half of every colletion of things you make. But suddenly, a thong or 'flip-flop' comes zooming towards the general and knocks his hat right off. Well...the general wasn't happy. I'm not going to tell you the rest of the story, you'll just have to read the book yourself. This book has barely a flaw, however it could've been longer. Overall, Rebel is a fantastic, meaningful book that is worth the money. Signed, StoryMaker. "Gotta trust the kid's review!"
Rebel is an inspiration!

Rebel is an excellent book for children who lack self-confidence or for children who are often bullied at school. It was a source of strength for me, and I am a far cry from a young child. While providing inspiration, Rebel also teaches your child about the history of a different culture; cultural diversity is a must in current education. Baillie has done an excellent job of communicating the strength of perseverance and togetherness in the face of opposition. Diane Wu has provide beautiful illustrations (possibly watercolor) that bring the words of the story to life!
