The Ring Bearer
Kindergarten-Grade 2–Rhymed couplets explain the responsibility of the ring bearer in a wedding. Pastel watercolors enhance the details in the text down to showing the pink cheeks on the young participant. What initially appears to be too sweet and cloying for a young boys enjoyment visually comes to a clever conclusion as readers see the child crawling under the cake table and ignoring the photographer taking a picture of the bride and groom kissing. The companion toThe Flower Girl(Hyperion, 2000) would make a good gift book.–Blair Christolon, Prince William Public Library System, Manassas, VACopyright © Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc.
