Juanito Counts to Ten: A Bilingual Counting Book… par Lee Merrill Byrd
This is a counting book for lower elementary. Children can learn to count to ten in both Spanish and English. The words chosen are appropriate for that age also. It mentions how many kisses Juanito likes to give to each of his family members.
STORYLINE:
This was a good one. You had the elements of love, murder, the law, and a "cult-like" group. While this sounds like a lot of different elements, Lee Byrd did a great job of tying it all together so nothing competed against each other. The whole cult line works well, as most people are so fascinated/disturbed by the idea that it makes for a good page turner.
STORY CHARACTERS:
Love 'em or hate 'em, these characters will get you thinking. The way they get sucked into the new therapy is exactly how real life people get trapped into them, so you really get a sense that you are reading something that could happen to people around you. They are well written and you end up rooting for them or wanting to go into the book to slap them awake.
WRITING STYLE:
This was an easy, fast read. While it is on the bigger side, you can easily get this done in two days. There is never really a point where you can put the book down and forget about it, because the end of each chapter keeps making you want more.
EDITING STYLE:
Good job with this. Nothing huge jumped off the pages.
OVERALL THOUGHTS:
I enjoyed this book and would like to read more from this author.… (plus d'informations)

Read 1/3 - depressing book because the little boy is in the burn unit and all that's talked about is the fire.
