This is a cute, simple book about Jerome the motorhome and his travels from home. The illustrations don't really look like a motorhome, but they are cute, colorful and simple.

This is a fun, rhyming, flip book which contains two stories in one book. Jerome is an adorable RV who loves adventure and loves to get on the road and travel. He sets off through hills and valleys observing the landscape and listening to the world around him. The illustrations and font are homespun making the book endearing indeed. This particular simple and basic style is an encouragement to kids that they too can write poetry, stories and illustrate books.

The positive message is that it's great to discover and explore and it's always wonderful to come back home. The dual story style will be a great hit with the kids I'm sure. The book is short and sweet!

This book tells the story of an RV named Jerome that travels around the country and back again. The simple artwork is nicely expressive. My grandson literally laughed out loud when I read it to him. He loved it! Great choice for a family or library read aloud.

This is a great book to use for poetry in a classroom. As an elementary teacher, I would use this as a mentor text to show children how to write their own poetry and then encourage them to go off and create their own. Great book for teachers!

This was a cute and sweet book! I enjoyed that everything was drawn/written by hand, and the rhymes flowed well. This would be a fun story for young kids to read before or during a road trip!

It's a flip book, so we get two stories in one! Jerome experiences many wonderful sights and sounds while on his journey. Colorful pictures help to tell his story. This is written in rhyme. Perfect for young readers.

What a lovely premise! A sweet little RV named Jerome takes readers along on his travels. We're invited to share in his curiosity about what's up ahead: What does he hear? What will he see? Written in a familiar rhyming scheme with simply drawn illustrations (which my daughter declared "sooooo cute!"), this wholesome, relaxing children's flipbook is perfect for downtime or bedtime. Children with gentler, quieter personalities will especially appreciate Jerome!

'Jerome Roams From Home' & 'Jerome Roams Back Home' are two short stories about Jerome's adventures as an RV. The story is cute, and is written well. It's definitely a homemade book with the illustrations and handwriting. Some pictures were great, and some were just good. This would be a great book to read to a kid about to go on their own RV trip.

The illustrations are charming and made to look as if a child drew them.

I recommend this to parents and grandparents of young children under the age of about six..

I received a free copy of this book from Netgalley.

I really liked the rhythm and poetry of the book - it was enjoyable to read aloud. However I feel that the illustrations really let the book down, as they're not interesting or exciting to a small child (or a big adult!).

I am sure this innocent, innovative book will motivate even the adults who are reading out loud to the kids.
I see the genuine encouragement in the publication of such basic books which many of us consider as just scrapbooks. Yes, scrapbooks matter. Journalling matters.
The illustration is basic sketching and drawing.
The lines are simple, easy to read. Such good vibes!

This little, basic book is encouraging the adult me to start writing journals all over again.

Thank you #NetGalley for the book.

This was a cute little dual story about Jerome going on a little trip! I really liked all of the rhyming and the story was quite fun! However, the illustrations weren't to my liking, I didn't think that they were very exciting or inviting.
