Editorial Review

“This clever alphabet book follows a family as they encounter opportunities to read. Various resources and genres are introduced as family members read ‘an atlas at the airport,’ ‘a biography in bed,’ and ‘comic books around the campfire.’ Enright uses speech bubbles to provide a close up of the information found in each source. A map of Scandinavia appears in the atlas, and pictures and a paragraph about Harriet Tubman are shown as an excerpt from the biography. Teachers and librarians will find this book a great read-aloud to introduce resources at the beginning of the year or as a review at the end of the year. Both authors have been teachers and Susan Allen was also a librarian. Their expertise with books and children is evident in this book. Recommended.”
