Beatrice Zinker, Upside Down Thinker by Shelley Johannes
As a quirky bunch of readers this book was an awesome addition. My kids loved Beatrice and her unique perspectives on life and problem solving. I was curious as to how things with the very traditional family would end up but was happy to see there was more acceptance and embracing of the unique thinking style of Beatrice. So overall it was a win for us. Quirky characters, humorous antics, and positive character are huge for us. So we totally recommend this book.
OMG! This book is almost perfect. The reader follows one family though a year in a short rhyming word adventure. The illustrations are lovely and lively while the story is blissfully blimey. In other words, pick up this book. It’s sure to make someone smile.
This is the second installment in the Beatrice Zinker series. In general I find Beatrice a likeable main character, and the story keeps moving right on, great for beginning chapter book readers, however, there is no backstory give on Beatrice, her family, her friends, or what conspired in the first book to help the reader along in this one. It can be a stand-alone, but will be much more enjoyable if the first one is read first. I like the positive attitude that Beatrice has, and if you have a student who has a no-nonsense nazi-style teacher, this will be the book where they can see their situation.… (more)
