The Sad Little Fact by Jonah Winter
3.0

3.5 stars!

I think picture books that start conversations about facts and information are good, but I also wonder if some of the content of this book will be lost. I think it's a great book for opening discussion and love the idea of using this with older kids as well. I think things like "The Authorities" may be lost on smaller children as there isn't an explanation of who they are or why they're there. I think this is a timely book and could generate a lot of discussion, but has the potential to possibly confuse and even scare some younger kids... I'll be interested to see.
