I, however, was disappointed by the sparse text and less than colorful illustrations. My ten year old son pointed out that the reason Mr. Small only used two colors in his illustrations was so the books would stand out. This method does make an impact.
I like how they celebrate diverse people (ages, stages) loving books in different ways. My favorite page depicted a cleaning lady on an empty theater stage belting out lines from her book.
This book is a love poem to books!
Strategies: connections, inferences
