Word Play by Tricia Gardella – Review by Elizabeth Sanchez

Word Play by Tricia Gardella
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Word Play is a cute children’s picture book with bright colorful illustrations. The story tells us of Joe’s first day of school. He starts off spelling his name with his cereal. That really took me back to my childhood, with alphabet cereal and soup. I remember how much fun it was to try to spell things. But I digress… Joe wanders out of school and explores the shops in town, looking for someone to help him read. Now for the kid listeners, this probably sounds like a fun adventure. The mom is me was shocked he wandered away from school without being stopped, and visited several stores without being questioned. Thank goodness for Bea, likely a wonderful grandma. I read this to my 8 year old and he enjoyed it, pointing out to me he agreed that Joe shouldn’t have left school alone.
