The Eternal Smile

The Eternal Smile by Gene Luen Yang and Derek Kirk Kim is a collection of three stories. In each of the stories the main characters deal with fantasy verse reality. They each have entirely different characters which makes the book interesting. I liked that the stories were short and easy to read despite that it appears to be a long collection of stories. It is an easy read for older children. It has content that may be inappropriate for young readers. What I liked best about the book was the difference between the illustrations between the three stories. I especially enjoyed the illustrations of the final story "Urgent Request". They are very simple and easy to look at and display the storyline well. Every student may not love all three stories, I certainly did not, but I enjoyed the book.
