kaciereads 's review for:
This book is a bit of a peek at what using the "Read-Aloud Handbook" by Jim Trelease might look like. That book (which is top-notch) is often cited in MacKenzie's book, along with some other citations.
The book lists at the back are fine, and an attempt at adding some contemporary titles in addition to some older classics.
I was a bit distracted by the bubbly writing style, and disappointed at the lack of practical how-tos in some chapters, particularly in the literary matchmaking chapter.
If you've visited her site or listened to a few podcasts, you know what is within the book.
Recommended: as a library copy, sure. For your home library, I'd suggest Trelease's book.
