The Unknown Soldier by Jess M. Brallier and Jamie Peterson - NO

The Unknown Soldier by Jess M. Brallier, illustrated by Jamie Peterson
. PICTURE BOOK. Charlesbridge, 2022. $18. 9781623541590 

BUYING ADVISORY: EL (K-3) - NO 

AUDIENCE APPEAL: LOW 

Jack and his family have enjoyed a busy itinerary during their visit to Washington DC. On their last day, they visit the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. 

Gottesfeld and Tavares’ Twenty-One Steps is a much better look at the Tomb. Brallier spends too much time on the rest of Jack’s trip – a distraction from time spent on the Tomb and jack’s interaction with it. Even the illustrations pale in comparison.
