I thought that the pictures and colors made it fun to read. The pages were not filled with a ton of words, and if there is more than one idea conveyed on a page, the text is broken up and placed above a picture to describe each idea. For example, when the author began listing different things Annie and her best friend did, a picture of each activity was provided. I like all of the dialogue that is used throughout the book. I feel like conversations are easier to read and do not require a lot of inferring. For example, “Here’s a crazy quilt,” said Henry. “And look at this fancy mirror.” “Wow!” said Annie. She saw a flowed chair in another corner. “Perfect!” she said. This easy read will encourage children to keep reading chapter books. I liked that the author uses a lot of repetition with the words. For example, “They carried lamps nad chairs. They carried tables and mirrors. They even carried a lovely old angel with a chipped wing.” I also like how the characters are well developed, even in such a short chapter book. For example, it was evident that Annie only lived with her father, but she had a great support system that included her best friend’s parents. The central message of this book is that having a single parent does not mean you are less loved. ( ) no reviews | add a review
