Remy Sneakers and the Lost Treasure is the second book in the series. This installment follows Remy the raccoon and his associates as they seek to find his family treasure that has been stolen.
Being a fan of Kevin Sherry’s picture books, I was very excited about this new series. Sadly, I wasn’t very impressed with this book. Although the pictures are engaging and illustrate the text well, the storyline is a bit disjointed and I found myself lost between pages as to what was going on. This book is written as a graphic novel that has chapters.
This book would appeal mostly to boys or those who appreciate critter adventures. It is a positive book despite setbacks the characters undergo. The highlight of the book truly is the artwork. Sherry has kept to his style and created illustrations that are detailed and expressive. The writing is simple and funny. It is a good book for early readers.
