Toto's Adventures in Oz
I am a sucker for Wizard of Oz/Wicked themed things since both were such a big part of my childhood so the title and description of this storybook immediately drew me in. The whole concept was something I had never thought of, and a fun new look on the Oz narrative. It showed how much fun these storybooks can be, and how looking at something from a new perspective can bring out a whole new tale. While the pictures and titles went with the story, the overall look of the website seemed a little basic and maybe done a little quickly. I liked the story though.
OU's Haunted Halls
I really enjoyed that this storybook was OU based. It made it personally interesting to me. I knew that there was a Ghost tour for campus, but I have never been on it. It was really neat to see these ghost stories told in different ways. The pictures and titles went really well with the stories. The introduction also felt like a campfire scary story beginning so it made me curious to the rest of the stories. While each story was about something different, they all fit the theme well so it felt like one idea. Overall, I thought this was a really well thought out storybook, and a great example of what could be done.
Mermaids: An Eternal World of Waters
This storybook's website is kind of clunky. It does not seem to flow as well as the google sites. The stories all fit nicely together and the fact that they are all written in the same style makes it seem like a cohesive story. The retelling of this story was very interesting and felt like an actual fairy tale, not just an assignment. It was a very creative storybook.
