Bernheimer, Kate. The
Lonely Book.
Illustrated by Chris Sheban. 40 pgs.
Schwartz & Wade, 2012. $17.99. Content: G PICTURE BOOK. Most things that are brand new are beloved
and used or played with often. The true
test is to see whether they endure the test of time. When a new book hits the library shelves, it
is read often and constantly checked out.
But in time, the book’s cover is dulled and it is even missing the last
pages. Children lose interest and no
longer care, except for one little girl named Alice. This is a heartwarming tale of a child’s love
for reading and desperate efforts to find the books she loves most. The illustrations are wonderful. The story is tender and had the perfect
ending! EL (K-3). ADVISABLE.
