so-so

3 ⭐There is lots of great information in this book. It‘s put in a graphic novel format that is easy for most people to read and understand. However, I do not find it as successful as its companion, books. The reason being is that this information is being given to the reader by a snail. And there are little stories in between each chapter that are about some type of “being” wanting to be different. I understand the purpose of the mini stories

LibrarianRyan between the chapters but it‘s the snail. Sometimes the snail does let human characters take over talking about certain subjects, but for the most part, it‘s a snail. Maybe this is done to reach a younger audience. Who knows it‘s just such a weird way to present this book as compared to its companion books. Overall while the information is good, the way it‘s presented makes this a book I will not be putting in our collection. 10mo

I enjoyed this comic. The snail teacher felt a bit weird at first, but it worked well and seemed to be mindful of a point made later on. Some of the metaphors were excellent, while others felt a bit forced. It felt balanced though. This would be a good resource for anyone curious about queer and trans identities or exploring their own identity. The style and tone reminded me of Oh Joy Sex Toy. #QueerBooks #LGBTQBooks #GenderStudies #Comic

This snail is demonstrating an aspect of self-love--helping others! ??? I love that they are reading "Frog and Toad" to a bunch of frogs/toads. So cute! #charactersreading

Moonprismpower Ha! Now I have to read this book. We cataloged it at my library not too long ago! I love Frog & Toad, our library‘s emblem is a frog😀 4y

faelinwolf @Moonprismpower 😄 There are a lot more snails than frogs in it! I thought it was a great introduction & even though I have a lot knowledge about queer identities, I still learned something! 4y

Some of this was a little simplistic, but overall it was indeed a quick and easy guide to queer and trans identities. #24in48

Hmmmmm.

I can't figure out the intended audience. The 1st part seems like a "queer identities 101" for cis folks, but then the 2nd part is a "how to relationship" guide that is super general. And then the last part is "coming out 101" and seems more directed towards queer folks! I'm confused!!!

The identities covered include trans, nonbinary, and asexuality (not complaining, but also very confused. Why is asexuality mushed in w gender ID?) ⬇️

queerbookreader I think it includes asexuality, which is a sexual orientation, in a book that is mainly about gender identity because it is a queer identity--which is part of the title, lmao--and also is rarely given attention or respect & is super misunderstood. However, it got so in depth for an entire chapter about asexual identities but lumped trans & non-binary identities together into 1 chapter that I think it could've done better in a separate book 5y

queerbookreader And I guess in a book that is mostly about gender identity, i would expect more in depth info about non-binary identities. I got one (1) example of a non-binary identity in the enby section of the identity chapter, but at least 6 examples of ace identity in the asexuality chapter, and I guess.......gender identity could have been better covered. 5y

queerbookreader It's not inaccurate in what the book says, so I'm not like "don't read this garbage!!!!" Not at all, but. It could have spent more time covering the actual queer identities (and more in depth about non-binary) and maybe not three entire chapters about a general, could apply to anyone, "how to do relationships" 5y
