I will admit that this book interested me because of the doodles on the cover and that it promised you would "Learn How to Make A Zine Inside!" Being all about cute illustration and zines I knew that this had to be a good time and I was definitely right.
While I'm far older than the intended audience for this book (elementary age) I could still appreciate the story and the accompanying doodles. Just Grace and the Snack Attack is the only book I've read out of the Just Grace series but it read fine as a stand alone for me. I loved the idea of exploring different ethnic foods, it's definitely a great topic for young children to be exposed to. It also talks about things such as family, friendship, what happens when you do something wrong, jealous and other things that are important for kids to learn about.
As far as reading level goes I'd say this would be the step between learning to read simple chapter books and full blown chapter books. The type is rather large on the page and while it isn't split into chapters it's split into small sections with their own headings such as "Eating Lunch" and the doodles also help break up the story.

The book looks and sounds adorable. Will try it if I have a chance ^^
ReplyDeleteThe cover is adorable!
ReplyDeleteIn high school I had a zine that I did for an independent study, but it was not made from just one piece of paper.
ReplyDeleteThis sounds just so cute!
ReplyDeleteJ.T. Oldfield- Me and some friends tried our hands at zines like 2 summers ago! I still have some in progress!
ReplyDeleteI bet lots of little girls would love this for Christmas. Sounds like it could be paired with The Daring Book for Girls for a great gift pack.
