To be honest my son and I didn't like this book much. For me, it was chaotically messy, not in exciting chaotic messy but more to annoying one. I might come as a strict mean mother but I don't like when my son not behave well, especially in public. And Rosie, the main character in this book rubbed me the wrong way. She was not behaving right. Well ok, she was only a kid, but still it was rude for her to jumped all over the places in public space, aquarium in this case. And I know this is children fiction but the way the story hold, as if it was ok to behave like Rosie did as long as you help cleaning the mess, was not on my line. I tried hard to straighten the story to my son so he could get the value out of the chaotic behavior Rosie had.
As for my son, he didn't like much of the story because he thought Rosie was reckless. He said what if the other animals got sick from human germs because of she jumped all over the aquarium. He also said she could be drowning from the way she swam.
Despite our opinions about the storylines, my son and I loved the illustrations. They were so colorful, full of details, and looked real. Definitely point plus for the illustrations.
Thank you to Larry Daley, Bookling Media, and NetGalley for the ARC.
