Just For You!: The Girls In The Circle
Kindergarten-Grade 2 - These four easy readers, all of which feature African-American characters, are a bit uneven in quality. All begin with tips for adults on reading aloud and end with questions and activities that encourage youngsters to relate to the stories' themes.Daddy, in which a boy tells about his weekly visit with his father, is a sweet and gentle look at a difficult topic with watercolor illustrations that match the mood, whileWhat Do You Know?, which relates a young girl's early-morning romp through fresh snow, is wordy with uninspired text and illustrations.GirlsandBath!are both fun stories with hit-and-miss rhyming styles and illustrations that bring the texts to life.- Catherine Callegari, San Antonio Public Library, TXCopyright © Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc.
