This storybook used a CSI theme to tell its story. I am a crime show fanatic, so this definitely caught my eye. The introduction was in the form of a journal entry that gives background information on the case. It explained that the character was investigating his grandfather's murder, but if the diary was being read, then he must be dead as well. It was very suspenseful; I felt like I was in a crime show! I skimmed through the stories and they were equally interesting. Each story covered a different death that was being investigated. I could tell that the stories were very well thought out and creative. The design of the storybook had a notebook background, which really completed the theme. It was very organized and easy to navigate. I really liked it!
Project Runway: Indian Epics Edition
I was absolutely blown away by this storybook! The attention to detail was amazing. The theme was based off of the popular TV show Project Runway. The introduction set the scene by explaining that this was the season finale of Project Runway and that the theme was Indian Epics. The designers would have to used these epics to inspire their outfits. The wording that was used sounded just like an actual Project Runway episode. I skimmed through the stories and they were very thorough. They included actual pictures of the outfit collections and related each collection to an Indian epic. I was amazed by the creativity that went into this storybook! It was very well organized and extremely well executed.

Kurma and Karma
This storybook was much different than the other two. This story was being told directly by two turtles! In the introduction, the younger turtle, Kurma, talks about what it's like being a turtle and introduces the concept of "Karma", which is also the elder turtle's name. This storybook was very lighthearted and fun. Kurma reminded me of the turtles in the movie Finding Nemo. As I was skimming through the rest of the stories, I noticed in the Author's Note that Kurma was actually an adaptation of a specific turtle from the movie. I really enjoyed the nautical theme and I thought that it was a fun way to tell a story.
