I am as much a fan of Tracey West's Pokémon books as my children are and I've been reading them on and off since before they were born. Later books in the series are printed on nicer paper and have full color shots.
In this one they are grayscale and the whole thing is printed on newsprint. It's all about his battling for badges, getting lost and thwarting Team Rocket along the way.Īll the books in the series have stills from the episodes and movies. In the television series this friendship is pushed aside for the most part after about the third episode to make room for Ash's quest to get into the Pokéleague. By drawing elements from so many episodes, West is able to show how both characters grow as their friendship develops. I like that these books aren't just novelizations of each and every episode. It's basically the initial story arc of Pikachu and Ash's friendship where it's put to the ultimate test in episode 37, "Pikachu's Good-bye." As the focus is only on Ash and Pikachu, a lot of the other adventures in the first season are set aside for other future books in the series. I Choose You traces how Ash and Pikachu first started working together. I like her Pokémon books because she's a fan too and manages to fill in the blanks that are sometimes there in an episode, movie or story arc.
All together she's written more than thirty books. All of the early books are written / adapted by Tracey West.
Now Harriet is also into Pokémon.With both children enjoying the series and games we have started to collect the old chapter books that first came out when the cartoon was imported. When my son was about two and a half he discovered the Pokémon cartoons at daycare. I started with the cartoons that were shown on the KidsWB and from there moved onto the games.
Before either child was born, I was a Pokémon fan. Most of the children's books I review on this blog belong to my children.
