COPY ISBN
PreS-Gr 1—This is a cute book about a child who describes the shapes, feelings, and personalities of his classmates. The illustrations support the text and the highlighted vocabulary words on each page; English appears on one page while Spanish is on the other. A teacher could use this title to lead up to an art activity in which students describe and illustrate themselves.
VERDICT While this offering could be used to introduce similes, and opportunities to teach vocabulary abound, the flow is choppy and the ending is abrupt.
