Imogene Comes Back! by David Small

barbarianlibarian's review against another edition

1.0

I know it's supposed to be a sequel, but it screams outdated and out-of-touch. I also find the family's "help" problematic. On the page Imogene appears as an elephant, it looks like the "help" in aprons have much darker skin than the clearly caucasian affluent family. I'm surprised this got green-lighted by the publisher in 2021. And what about the dig about sending her to "art school"? shesh.

I loved the original but this won’t stand on its own. Definitely needs to be paired.

Hmm... will kids who didn't grow up with the original Imogene's Antlers care about this book? Will it make sense to them? Will it get them to seek out the original (one of my personal favorites from my childhood)? These are all questions I don't know the answers to. It feels like half a book to me.

Definitely needs to be read in conjunction with 'Imogene's antlers'.

I didn't love this, which was disappointing to my childhood self.
