Today’s book review features a nominee in the Easy Readers category, Written and Drawn by Henrietta: TOON Level 3 by Liniers. This TOON Books title was nominated by Fiction Picture Books category chair Terry Doherty and reviewed by Easy Readers/Early Chapter Books chair (and Round 1 judge) Katie Fitzgerald–so naturally I was intrigued. Katie, a former children’s librarian near Washington, DC, blogs at Story Time Secrets, where she posts children’s book reviews and muses about literacy activities and librarianship. She reviewed Written and Drawn by Henrietta in September, and said:
“Many books sing the praises of reading and writing, but Written and Drawn by Henrietta is one of the few that allows the reader to truly experience the joy of creativity. Because Henrietta is a child who writes and draws like a real child, she is the perfect role model for young beginners.”
