Review: SCHOOL JITTERS
Rating: 3 out of 5
Date: 07 16, 2013
We are already seeing the back to school ads, so parents and children are beginning to focus on the event. This book tells the story of five year old Katie Sue who is conversing with mom about what the big day will be like. The book is written in rhyme done in the format of Katie asking her mom a question to which her mother replies. No doubt the book has value as a read aloud for children about to begin their school career. Yet, I found some of the questions not typical of a five year old and the rhyme at times stilted and forced. The colorful illustrations fill the page and will attract a young child, though a few of he images are a bit out of sync.
