In the Land of Milk and Honey by Jpyce Carol Thomas - ADVISABLE


Thomas, Joyce Carol In the Land of Milk and Honey, PICTURE BOOK. Amistad, 2012. $16.99. Content: G. 

Follow along on one family’s journey to California; the Land of Milk and Honey.  The main character is a little girl in anticipation of her new home, describing what she sees along the route and how she feels once she arrives.  

The writing comes off as an enchanting poem with thought-provoking vocabulary that will encourage investigation by readers.  The descriptive language and graceful pictures help to create a warm atmosphere of expectation that is translated well to the reader.    A strong author’s note at the end of the book helps to tie the whole piece together.
