This Book of Mine by Sarah Stewart - ADVISABLE


This Book of Mine by Sarah Stewart, illustrated by David Small.  PICTURE BOOK Farrar Straus Giroux, 2019.  $18.  9780374305468

BUYING ADVISORY: GIFT, EL (K-3) - ADVISABLE   

AUDIENCE APPEAL:  AVERAGE  

An adorable depiction of what books mean in our lives.  Sometimes they are our friends, teachers or entertainers.  When we read a book and it becomes ours, we are better for it.  

David Small’s simple watercolor/ink illustrations are dreamy and perfect.  Each page spread includes about 5-10 words, but they sum up the magic of reading.  As a book lover, I adore this sweet ode to books, and it would make a great gift to fellow book lovers.  I also think young readers will enjoy its simple message.  

Reviewer, C. Peterson.
