Curiosity

by Jennifer Aboudi

 

A story becomes a tutorial.

Gerald Allen Wunsch must have children of his own. Otherwise, how would he have known to include "learn more about..." sections at the end of the book?

The story's heroines, Ginger and Irene have adventures that move beyond the banal title and into history. This isn't the most plot-driven story I've encountered, but it does make for a pleasant stroll.

As I read, I pictured a scenario:

A teacher prompts a new student to read aloud after a few well-spaced paragraphs, takes time to explore the generous annotations on various topics, and can opt for further study when the story ends.

Nice.

Tips

Read this with more than one child. It is a great discussion generator; you may even want to leave time for a trip to the library when you're done.

Pros

This will make any instructor/caregiver feel prepared when the "what is/why did/when did" questions are fired. There is a lot of spacing between the lines, so every reader has a fair chance of sounding skilled.

Cons

Many self-published books scream, "I should have called a professional proofreader", but this shouldn't affect young readers. Only nit-picking reviewers who know that clichés are best left on shop-at-home TV stations.
