Linus by Stuart Hausmann - NO

Linus by Stuart Hausmann. PICTURE BOOK. Atheneum Books for Young Readers, 2023. $18. 9781665900300

BUYING ADVISORY: EL(K-3)--NO


AUDIENCE APPEAL: LOW


Linus understands that in the town of Linneopolis it is important to stay in line. He is doing his best to fit in, but is learning that sometimes it’s ok to stand out. 


Gorgeous illustrations are let down by a story that is heavy handed and inaccessible to young readers. Children will be disinterested in a book whose theme is much too obvious and a story that needs constant explanation because of a vocabulary that is well above the target audience.
