Virginia Wolf Illustrated
by Isabelle Arsenault Kids Can
Press, 2012. PICTURE BOOK Content: G.
Vanessa’s sister, Virginia, wakes up in a bad mood, she tells Vanessa to not wear her
favorite dress, to stop brushing her teeth so loud and then she tells a bird to
stop making so much racket.
Virginia is as grumpy as a wolf, so Vanessa decides to try and make her
happy. Vanessa asks Virginia what
would make her happy, and Virginia said she would like to fly to a faraway
place, a made up place where everything is beautiful and peaceful. So Vanessa gets her art supplies and
starts to create that place by drawing on the walls in Virginia’s room.
This book has unique illustrations and a cute story, but it
might be too abstract for young readers, and that is the obvious intended
audience.
EL (K-3)-OPTIONAL. Reviewer, C. Peterson.
