Review: Great book that is attractively illustrated....

"Bleagh" is an adorably drawn book that teaches children to embrace difference. Each page is a value lesson with a badge of the value illustrated (I do question if creativity is indeed a value but why not, let's toss it in). Bleagh is very different from his classmates so they work with him to adapt to his new school. There are probably some overt touches that young readers might not get. Because of the division within the values, this is a great book for reading each day in order to embrace new experiences. Children can make a game and relate that "experience of the day" to their own lives.The best thing about this picture book is the illustration. Each page is colorful, attractive and perfectly reflects the story. There is a joy of movement in the blue monster as he wallows in garbage that will attract pre-schoolers. Great book for young readers and perfect for the classroom.
