"I've Got a Job for You"  (LINK)

I was not familiar with this topic before I read this storybook. The title was informative about the theme of the story but didn't give me any information on the content of the stories. I found this storybook especially captivating because of the unique second person perspective it uses. The introduction definitely made me want to read the rest of the story and it also explained that the topic was about weapons. I thought this was very creative and interactive. The pictures at the top were very well picked because they show the location where the story takes place. The pages were very easy to navigate and clearly labeled. It was clearly differentiated when the story changed to the author's note. The second person perspective is very intriguing and might be something I want to use.

"Gossip Girl Ayodhya"  (LINK)
The title of this website really caught my attention because I am familiar with Gossip Girl, the tv show, but I was not familiar with topic of the storybook. The title is somewhat informative by mentioning Ayodhya where the story takes place, but doesn't really tell us about the story itself. The story was a little harder to follow along with all the interjections, but it definitely kept with the theme. The intro was informative and kept with the style of how Gossip Girl would write a post, which peaked my interest. It was also clear from the introduction that the story was about Rama. The layout is easy to navigate and the author notes were informative. The design of the site's first page was very modern which fit with the style of writing and helped set the tone for the classic city setting from the original gossip girl series. The pictures heading the stories were more relevant to the story though.

"Lakshmi's Space"  (LINK)
I like that this storybook was written in first person. The title makes it clear that Lakshmi is the subject of the story, and also hints that the format is going to be blog style. The introduction tells us a lot about the character Lakshmi. I didn't find this style as unique as the other two because the style and perspective was not as contemporary and unique, but the story itself was still interesting. The color scheme of the website was eye-catching and went with many of the pictures used in the stories.
