George, Kallie Secrets I Know, illustrated by Paolo
Zakimi. PICTURE BOOK. Schwartz & Wade (Random House),
2017. $18.
A little tells about the secrets she knows - like umbrellas
make good boats, or true treasure is a friend.
I read this book three times, trying to love it, but I
really only kind of like it. Only some
of the transitions in this progressive book make sense to me; the ones that did
work I liked, but then I’d be thrown off by one that irked me. And while the illustrations have a Holly
Hobbie feel to them, pretty cute, the colors are muted , bringing a sad feeling to everything. Hmm - I’d love to
hear differently.
Pre-K - NOT RECOMMENDED.
