An exceptional "extension" to the award-winning picture book,
By
This review is from: Puffin Chapters Starring Grace (Paperback)
What better way to elevate and captivate elementary readers than to provide them with a chapter book that utilizes a character familiar from the pre-school years!!! "Starring Grace" takes Grace to another level, a story rich in language and real-life situations. The book does not "talk down" to its reader; in fact, it uses vocabulary that is challenging and enlightening: troupe, megaphone, eccentric, conspirator, machete, paramedic, tibia, bougainvillea, and trilby, to list a few. It also presents concepts that can spurn discussion as well as enhance the reader's life experiences: witness protection, internment, and divorce. Grace's adventures also display cooperativeness and the power of a child's imagination. It also introduces the reader to events in history: the first landing on the moon and the horrors of World War II (implied). The problems of the elderly and that group remaining vital in their "declining years" are also addressed within this simple framework of good storytelling. And who would think that this would come from a book with such chapter titles as: "Grace and the Big Top", "Grace Goes on Safari", "Grace Blasts Off", and "Grace the Detective". I will, most definitely, be adding this one to my classroom library and my home. I recommend that you do the same.

This review is from: Puffin Chapters Starring Grace (Paperback)
I liked when Grace and her friends went to the other yardand pretended they were in the jungle.Because they got suppiles and stuffed animals and pretended they were real. At the end they pretended that the yard was a secrect garden and cleaned it up for the old woman. That is why I like the book. C.C.
