A review by mtzbookworm64
Hokey Pokey by Jerry Spinelli
1.0
I know this book received great reviews - but I don't get it.
It was confusing at first - all the comparisons of growing up in "Hokey Pokey" terms to current times of growing up. Yes - it reminded me of things I did when I was young and treats and pleasures that only your friends at that age shared - but the analogies were too much.
It does contain some explicit language (which could have been left out or changed) - middle school reading content or higher. I feel younger readers won't understand nor connect with the analogies in the writing.
Not on my books to recommend reading.
