This book is very clever and a little Dr. Seus-y. I had intended on reading it as a realistic fiction. I would say the text counts but, alas, the illustrations do not. I do love the illustrations though! such an interesting combination of materials and color. This question that is the meat of the book, finding the perfect place to read is exposed as completely irrelevant by the end of the book and reminded me of our conversation in class today when addressing Jaqueline Woodson's views on reading. This is something that we should just do, encourage, share about, and process through. This book presents that same topic in a very poking fun way. ( )
