Tessa Takes Wing by Richard Jackson –GIFT


Tessa Takes Wing by Richard Jackson, illustrated by Julie Downing.  PICTURE BOOK. Neal Porter (Roaring). 2018. $18. 9781626724396

BUYING ADVISORY: PRE-K – GIFT

AUDIENCE APPEAL: AVERAGE

A baby waits until her sister is asleep and her parents are away to use her power to float. She floats out of her crib to have some fun in house adventures with her pup –floating back just in time for her dad to arrive. After that she has fun ‘flying’ with her family. Features large harmonious illustrations.

I think this book is a cute buy for an infant, so a gift for a family with babies. It could be read to pre-k students, who could be asked to guess if the baby could really float or it was just dreaming but I think infants and young toddlers will enjoy the story more. The illustrations are absolutely adorable and feature very soft yet bright colors.
