Wells, Rosemary, Yoko Finds Her Way. Disney
Hyperion, 2014. $16.99. PICTURE BOOK.
Yoko and her Mama are on their way to Japan. On their way to
the Airport, Yoko’s mama reminds her to check the signs in order to find her
way. When Yoko goes to the restroom, she gets lost, but she knows to find the
police person at the desk. Mama, however, goes in search of Yoko and gets lost
as well. Will the two find each other?
The story is simple and cute and the illustrations are
bright and colorful. The signs up above the story, however, that are supposed
to correspond with the parts of the story don’t always match and are confusing.
Due to this fact, it would be hard to use to learn specific signs, but might
make a good introduction to symbols and signs for children. Fans of Wells’
books and Yoko, however, will enjoy reading this book or having it read to them
either way. PreK, EL (K-3). OPTIONAL. Reviewer: Kira M, Youth Services
Librarian, WHI Public Library.
