Review of 'Yoko learns to read' on 'Goodreads'

3 stars

This book was ideal for reading aloud to my daughter, who is 5 years old and learning to read herself. The illustrations are very sweet, and the story is easy for children to relate to, even if they aren't Japanese cats. A good way to show children that learning to read takes a little time and courage.

Review of 'Shark in the Dark' on 'Goodreads'

The glow-in-the-dark pictures in this book are a cute gimmick, but I was a bit disappointed to tell the truth. To see the glow effect you need to turn off the lights, and then you can't read the story. The text and more of the illustrations (even just the outlines) need to glow too, so we can read it in the dark!
