BUYING ADVISORY: Pre-K, EL (K-3) - OPTIONAL
AUDIENCE APPEAL: AVERAGE
A young girl discovers a "treasure" on the ground and asks her mother if she can keep it. The treasure? A rubber band! The rest of the story shows all the creative and imaginative ways the girl plans to use and enjoy her fortunate find.
The story was cute, embracing the far-fetched ways a rubber band could be used. The illustrations are simple line drawings with perfect little details that make the story even more fun. This book could be a great read-aloud before a discussion about unlikely treasures and the imaginative ways things can be used and enjoyed. I enjoyed the pages showcasing different peoples' unique, treasured belongings. And I loved the main character's response to an unexpected catastrophe at the end of the book. A few characters have Japanese names, but the simple line illustrations don't cue anything notable about ethnicity.
