Very simple text, but the pictures REALLY tell the story. ( )

Twelve Terrible Things is exactly as the title says... twelve two page illustrations depicting absolutely terrible things that everyone of most any age can relate to. Examples include: having the ice cream fall out of your cone, visiting the dentist, an annoying brother who makes you smell his feet and a grandma who pinches your cheeks. Perhaps not much substance here, but it might just encourage your young one to come up with their own list of twelve terrible things! Or maybe even fifteen fantastic things!!! ( )

limited voc. great for feelings, go with ALexander's Terrible Bad Day ( )

I absolutely loved the vibrant colors used in the illustrations in this book. This book is an excellent example of modern fantasy because it also contains imaginary things that can be frightening to anyone. Some of the things are totally unbelievable and unrealistic but they are made believable through Kelley's writing.
