A review by misscalije
It Takes a Village by Hillary Rodham Clinton

3.0

Clinton’s message of community was especially poignant for the Reading Time that I used it: a fundraiser for Kids In Need of Defense. My quip with this book is that, even though Frazee’s illustrations are wonderful, it is hard to read to a group because many pictures are too small to see. I liked the message of Clinton’s words, but I think she could have creating a book with much the same message that had a more narrative flow. As it stood, the pictures held the narrative, but for kids to get it, it had to be narrated.
Good book, but I will be careful when using it again in the future.
