This is one of the most unique books I've read this year. If you're looking for something different to enjoy, I highly recommend it." Pikasho Deka (5 stars) Readers’ Favorite book reviews "Curious Thinkers by Hope Silver is a world of imagination like no other. Here is an author who successfully thinks outside the box. The illustrations strike a comedic tone, keeping these 60 short stories light-hearted. I couldn’t help but turn the pages to see what Silver could possibly think of next." Joanne Ang (5 stars) Readers’ Favorite book reviews Curious Thinkers is a fantastic anthology that packs a huge punch with its compact stories. Each is a delight and the skill Hope Silver has in giving readers a fully satisfying start-to-finish ride with such brevity is without question. My favorite is Burning with Desire, wherein an insecure little birthday candle doubts her ability to perform perfectly on an occasion as important as a birthday. What I loved most in this story is that, like many of the others, there is a message of self-worth that concludes each piece of fiction that is really sweet and wonderfully inspiring. The book is also suitable for all age groups and my daughter enjoyed reading alongside me. The sketched artwork interspersed between Silver's work is a fun addition that rounds out an already amusing collection. Jamie Michele (5 stars) Readers’ Favorite book reviews
