Rooting for You by Susan Hood-OPTIONAL



Hood, Susan, ill. By Matthew Cordell, Rooting for You. pgs. 25. $16.99. PICTURE BOOK.

When a little flower wakes up under the ground, they’re afraid to go up and out of their dirt. With some help from some spider and earthworms, however, it learns that it’s okay to grow. An extremely cheesy picture, book but the pictures and text are well-done. Teachers who need an opening book to read young children about gardens and growing or parent who want such a book to read aloud to their kids will appreciate this book as well as those they read it to. PreK, EL (K-3). OPTIONAL. Reviewer: Kira M, Youth Services Librarian, WHI Public Library.
