Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

Gr 1-3-Kondo and Kezumi are best friends and love to go on adventures. However, they don't always agree on their destination. A lover of food, Kondo wants to visit Spaghetti Island. Kezumi wants to visit every location, island or otherwise. When a storm causes them to shipwreck on an unknown island, the two argue, separate, and get lost. Will the friends find their way back to each other and make up? Will they figure out a way home? And will Kondo ever get to see Spaghetti Island? Tsurumi's full-page vivid illustrations do a great job of bringing the story to life. The characters are likable and engaging. The plot is fairly well developed, but simple enough for young chapter book readers to follow. A surprise twist at the end will delight and amuse kids. VERDICT Those who enjoy stories about adventure, fantasy, humor, and friendship will appreciate this sequel. Recommended for early chapter book collections.-Kira Moody, Salt Lake County Lib.

Review

Praise for Kondo and Kezumi Visit Giant Island:



*"The personal relationships, various environments, and building projects provide multiple points of engagement to keep new readers motivated."―Publishers Weekly, starred review

"Recommended for readers who are transitioning to chapter books and who are fans of animated adventure television shows."―School Library Journal

"Goodner and Tsurumi's brightly illustrated chapter book should find favor with fans of Kate DiCamillo and Chris Van Dusen's similarly designed Mercy Watson series... A story of friendship that is both lively and lovely."―Kirkus Reviews

My 5-year-old adored Kondo and Kezumi visit Giant Island, and this follow-up was not a disappointment. The illustrations continue to hide tiny, endearing details, and the story is once again superbly charming and engaging. The characters are dynamic and the humor is well-timed and appropriate. This series of chapter books has been a wonderful way to introduce my son to the idea that a story can continue over the course of many days. My son and I both look forward to reading many more of Kondo and Kezumi's adventures together!

My 5 year old daughter loved the illustrations. She had fun looking at all the tiny little unique characters and saying which one she wanted to be. The plot was interesting and we read it over 2 sittings (although my daughter begged me to read to the end the first night) so it lasted much longer than the usual picture book which we can get through in a matter of minutes. Definitely one of my daughter's favorite books.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic for early readers and kids
Reviewed in the United States on April 5, 2022
It's SO refreshing to see a comic style book for children that doesn't include farts, poop, and underpants. The illustrations are great and the artwork isn't too busy. The messages in all of these books are so awesome and wholesome. I only hope we can see more books added to the series.
