Birpus & Bulbus is a new picture book series chronicling the whimsical adventures of two Tree Wee Brothers living in The Forest of Fine Repute. In The Sour Milk Dragon, Birpus and Bulbus discover how a small act of kindness transforms fear into friendship. Follow Birpus and Bulbus and their Grand Wees, Nester Nook and Granny Cranny, on a magical journey of acceptance, love and family.
I received a copy of this book through Netgalley. This is my honest review.
This is a story about two squirrel like creatures (they're probably just actually squirrels, but they look funny in the illustrations, so I'm going to assume that maybe they're from another planet that doesn't have squirrels exactly) who are running from a dragon that smells like sour milk. They get home safely, but need to leave again to get ingredients for their next meal, and the dragon is waiting for them! But he's not a mean dragon, he just wants some friends to play tag with, and has found those friends in Birpus and Bulbus.
I would definitely read this story multiple times if asked because it was a fun read, and I like the message that we don't always know the intentions of others. Granted, I think we should still absolutely teach caution, because we don't know the intentions of others and they can be bad, but stopping to listen to someone explain where they're coming from is a good thing. The illustrations were cute and quirky and I think this would make a great coloring book.
Overall I give The Adventures of Birpus and Bulbus 4.3857 out of 5 stars. - Katie
