lemoney 's review for:
Addie Ant Goes on an Adventure
by M. Morris, Kelly Anne Dalton, Karina Argow
I had high hopes for this book. Being a Pre
-K teacher, one of my absolute favorite things to do is to read stories to my students. I love reading and thoroughly enjoy helping to foster their love of reading. The title of this book and the adorable pictures throughout had me excited to read it. However, I didn’t feel that there was a great flow to the story. I actually read it out loud to see how it would sound if I read it to my students, and it just didn’t work. There really wasn’t a rhythm to the story (which was especially surprising to me, seeing as an which was especially surprising to me seeing as a singer–songwriter was one of the co-authors) and there were too many words that would be unfamiliar to the students. I don’t mind books that throw in words like that here and there especially if they make sense with the context so the students can figure out what they mean. In this case, there was an overabundance of that and not always a great context to figure out the word. Unfortunately, I don’t think I would purchase this for my class..
Thank you to NetGalley for an ARC of this book. All opinions in this review are my own.
