BUYING ADVISORY: EL (K-3), EL - ADVISABLE

APPEALS TO: SEVERAL

The book contains short graphic novels like stories and poems interspersed with hilarious drawings. The stories and poems are all about feelings but written in a way that makes you laugh. I loved this book.

At first glance I didn't think I would like this book, no color illustrations and it looked just kind of “blah.” How wrong I was. It is my 2 year old grandson's absolute favorite book! We read from it every day and he sits down and “reads” out loud from it every day. The book has become a special friend in our family the last several weeks while my grandson has stayed with us. I highly recommend this book for preschool aged children up through 3rd grade, maybe even all through elementary school. The illustrations are just darling and funny and a 2 year old laughs out loud at them. Enjoy this book for years to come.
