BUYING ADVISORY: MS - OPTIONAL

AUDIENCE APPEAL: AVERAGE

Coelho has created 21 stories, each told in only ten words, each also illustrated by a different illustrator. Many of the illustrations speak to a young audience, but many of the tales have a macabre twist to the words. I’m going to hand this off to my 7th grade ELA teachers to get their students to weigh in with their opinion. I’m not completely sold on the idea. I promise to update the review once the students have spoken!
