The Long Way To a New Land

The Long Way to a New Land (I Can Read Book 3) by Joan Sandin
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

There are pros and cons to this easy reader. The cons are that it does not appeal to pre-readers at all. The pictures are few and not very detailed. The subject matter is also above the head of your average pre-schooler. But if you have a beginner reader that is trying to learn more about early emigrants to the United States for a report or something, this is a great book. It is full of facts about Swedish emigrants in story form, making the information easy for a child to absorb.

Tongue Twisters

Tongue Twisters (Laughing Matters) by Pam Rosenberg
My rating: 2 of 5 stars

Meh. It's tongue twisters were only so-so. They didn't even write out the full verse(s) for several of the classics. The artwork was also bleh. Not a bad book, but I've definitely seen better collections of tongue twisters.
