I am all for works of fantasy and sci-fi to tell stories that pull the reader into different worlds and experiences. However, there's something to be said about introducing a piece of realistic fiction to an emerging reader so that they can feel that 'so someone has felt the same things that I have'...
I had a bad August. A very bad August. As bad as pickle juice on a cookie. As bad as a spiderweb on your leg. As bad as the black parts of a banana. I hope your August was better. I really do. What a cute book. It's an easy chapter book about an 8-year old girl named Eleanor. She has had the same...

I read it and laughed, then Natasha read it and laughed, and now Veronica is reading it. As far as I'm concerned the world can always use more light verse. And snarky poems riffing on fairy tales is about as light as you can get. Ultralight. Soaring. Library copy.
