Basic Reason of Interest: I like picture books. A friend of mine asked about them for a school a while back, so off I went to buy myself some picture books I could pass on, guilt-free. Being a mythological tale of the Pacific Northwest, it fits my “other cultures” criteria. And just admit it looks pretty.

Full comments here

Book Rereadability: I’m really good at rereading these only around students, aren’t I?
Author Rereadability: Definitely won’t say no to more of McDermott’s books. (Unless someone tells me they’re wholly disrespectful and the author doesn’t know what he’s talking about or something.)
Recommendation: Beginning readers! (Conclusion: I read too many picture books during the Read-a-Thon.) (
