[I Read, Therefore I Blog · Rating 3 out of 5]

Helen Mortimer and Cristina Trapanese’s picture book is part of a series aimed at providing young readers with vocabulary to talk about a series of different issues. It’s clearly well intentioned and Trapanese’s illustrations are fun and engaging but the text itself lacks focus, trying to cover too much and relying heavily on slogans and puts across ideas without explanations such that I’m not convinced young readers will fully understand.
