Kay, Verla Hornbooks and Inkwells, illustrated by S.D. Schindler. Putnam (Penguin), 2011. $17. PICTURE BOOK. Ms. Kay uses rhyme to compliment very detailed drawings of what a day, a week, a year looked like in a 1970’s schoolhouse. I really adore the illustrations – you can learn a lot just by looking at them. The short rhymes, however, do not convey enough information to really enjoy each page’s lesson. I wish the author had gone with sentences instead. EL – OPTIONAL. Cindy, Library Teacher
