Evidence of how we all learn at different times!,

This review is from: WHEN WILL I READ? (Paperback)
This is a very heartwarming book that allows students to see that we all "pick up" skills at different times. Being a first grade teacher, I know what it's like to see a child who becomes frustrated while watching everyone around them reading. This book speaks to the children that are waiting and watching everyone around them engage in the joy of reading. It provides them with the hope that in good time, they will be reading too!

Absolutely inapprorpriate behavior is accepted in this story,
This review is from: WHEN WILL I READ? (Paperback)
There is one section of this book that makes it not appropriate for any age. There is a part where a child's doll "baby would not be quiet". And the child said "Oh, this is a bad baby. He needs to be washed." It continues with "And she began to wash her baby very hard". OMG! What is that about???? This book is now in the shredder and should be removed from circulation...unless it can be re-released without this atricous part. How can anyone recommend a book that puts those kinds of thoughts in a child's head? Was this really OK in 1977 (when the book was released)? I don't know, but it's certainly not OK now.
