The concept of the book is interesting, The pictures are lovely. However, I would not bring this book into my classroom. I believe the book is hard to follow and understand. I understand the idea of it being in a corner, but I am just not sure young children would understand what is happening in the story.

I love this mostly-wordless little book that takes advantage of the physical form of the book to tell the story. It's definitely one worth lingering over to notice all of the little details, even though it seems sparse. An excellent addition to any library collection.

This is a really great book and I love the story, symbolism, and illustrations. I think kids will definitely like this book.

This was really different and unique! I love the evolution of the bird's tiny little corner and how it was a reflection on how we build ourselves these tiny little nests, but sometimes we need to build a window to not only let the light in, but also let others in. It was really cute!

I saw a mini-preview of this children's picture book in a vendor's email, and it intrigued me enough to click for info. What I saw from there made me want to see more, and I found an advanced reader copy available for preview - and LOVED it! I was so excited about it I shared it with lots of others, and the next thing I knew a parent had donated a copy to our school library. Wahoo! We will be reading this over and over for years!

This is a stunning, nearly wordless picturebook that can help all who read it to see that we always have power over our environment, and can create our own world and make it beautiful, and then as we do that, our world expands attracting more and more good things and even others around us seeking the same things and more! So many important messages for today's world. 

Thanks to NetGalley for allowing me to read and review this wonderful book and to the parent who donated a copy! #Corner #NetGalley

When a small bird decorates its own little corner of the world, it certainly expands to fill the space (all the space), even branching outside where there are possible friends to meet.

What a sweet and nearly-wordless wonder this book was, and a real treat for anyone looking for a book on creating your own happiness.

A cute book; the digital Netgalley copy was a little hard to read, considering the dual-page option didn't work on my app, but the gorgeous art and sweet story was still there. Like many other books I read as a small child, sometimes the important thing is how the book makes you think about the world its set in as much as (or even more) than the story itself, and this book was a great example. Where is the corner? How did our main character find it? What would you do with a corner of your own? Wordless books are important for childhood literature development, and I would love to have this on our shelf to add to a very small population of similar titles. I am very happy to have read it, and excited to see it again once it is released.

A quiet yet engaging look at boredom, creativity, and discovery. Although this story has sparse text, it reads much like a wordless picture book. The art style is engaging with texture and emotion. On each spread, readers watch a little crow slowly transform an empty corner into a home and finally into a place from which to reach out toward connection. Young readers will enjoy watching how the crow interacts with and changes its world.

A very sweet picture book about a crow building a home. They have a bed, a bookshelf, and a plant, what could possibly be missing? Minimal text and beautiful colored pencil illustrations contribute to the gentle storytelling of this book.

I received an arc of this title from NetGalley for an honest review. I found this to be a really cool book about a crow decorating his home and all the ideas he has.

A thoughtful take on how freeing it can be to be alone but how being alone can make you feel trapped too. The illustrations paint the story for you since there are about 3 words in this whole book, which I loved. It’s a story and feelings that so many of us can relate to and I think everyone will adore this book.

This is a book that I came upon whose cover actually seems humble yet inviting with such a simple title. And what is the importance of this corner? Why is this bird stuck there or is he? And most importantly what is the message that this book is trying to convey to me?

 <i>Corner</i> is basically a children's picture book as there is only just a few words and most of them don't really contribute to the story. Instead the reader is taken on a trip in which we follow our avian host as he makes his home in the corner - freely able to move around, to do what he wants to do and to grow in his preferences as well as to be himself. 

 As a result although this book may mean something else to someone else it really touched me about my own introversion since as you flip through the pages you can tell the passing of time is much longer than hours and even days since of the growth of the bird's plant. As such even though we see only an aspect of the bird's life and have no knowledge why this corner was chosen he seems to be pretty fine and content with his own company. But just like any other introvert there is that incessant need for something more that occasionally pokes its head forth for we are social creatures collectively.

 Although the coloring of the illustrations was rather limited there was a lot of thought put forth. The brightness of the murals, the splashes of color added by anything that hinted at life and even the small details of the changes in the room will all attract to the reader. And even though this bird isn't realistically portrayed he is still rather cute.

 The only part of the book I didn't like was just part of the digital formatting. Unfortunately I read this book through Adobe Digital Editions and as such I was only able to view the telling one page at a time thus missing out on the harmony of viewing the whole page at one time.

 In the end I feel that the message is quite broad and just as a good book should it will have a different story to tell to each person who reads it. And so whether it is about creativity, the need for friendship or even a calming look at introversion this book will most definitely be a hit to many fans young or old.

 **I received a free copy of this book through Netgally in exchange for an honest review.**

I received an electronic ARC from Owlkids Books through NetGalley.
Sweet story about a bird who locates a vacant corner and slowly sets up a home. Zo-O uses few words to capture the mood and allows the artwork to carry the message. Readers will enjoy making predictions as to what the bird will add next and how he will build his home. I love the ending where the bird opens their space to the outside world.

Corner is a delightful book, the illustrations are beautiful and reflects the story perfectly.
I will not hesitate to recommend this book to our young library patrons (and most likely, the older ones too!).

Super cute little picture book that kinda speaks for itself! There is nothing else to be said, I hope more of this authors works gets translated into English!

Both clever and charming, and endearing bird makes itself a home, and doesn’t stop until it discovers what it really needs. I love these illustrations, which express the story perfectly. This is a must-purchase for me!

This book is so well illustrated. The story is pretty straight forward with very few words, but the pictures tell the story. The kids enjoyed looking at what changed page to page, and they liked the ending. 

I've read it multiple times with our way them! So good all around. 

I couldn't find it listed on Storygraph so I couldn't post a public review there.

Corner by Zo-O is a very quiet book that is mostly wordless.  It shows how important it is to connect with others.  Heart warming pictures that were very engaging.  I will be using this one in the classroom.

Thank you to NetGalley and Owlkids Books for this copy in exchange for an honest review.

Corner is a beautifully crafted book. I can think of a dozen ways to use this book in the classroom and I can't wait to share it with my undergraduates. The illustrations are beautiful and offer an interesting perspective to design.

A "mostly" wordless picture book explores transcenditalism. We don't need much to be happy, but we need human connection. We can get lost in our craft an still have a need.
Beautiful images that let the corner truly be the reader's.
