A Secret Keeps by Marsha Chall - OPTIONAL


Chall, Marsha Wilson  A Secret Keeps Illustrated by Heather M. Solomon  Carolrhoda Books, 2012.  $16.95  PICTURE BOOK  Content: G   

A little boy is excited to go and see his grandparents because his grandpa has promised he will find a secret when he visits.   The little boy spends the whole book asking   different birds and animals to see if they know what the secret is.  Finally at the end the little boy follows the mewing that he hears in the barn and finds a hayloft full of new kittens.  His grandfather lets him keep one.  

The illustrations are great, but when the little boy was going around the farm trying to discover the secret it wasn’t written very clearly and it was a bit boring.  

EL (K-3)-OPTIONAL.  Reviewer, C. Peterson.
