Book Reviews of Micawber
Book Review: Interesting book... Much Potential for the Right Readers
Summary: 4 Stars
I enjoyed this story about a clever and creative little squirrel who savors fine art. This book has the potential to turn young people on to the visual arts and to the treasures museums offer. I love the "Norman Rockwellish" final illustration in the book --depicting Micawber rendering his own self-portrait.
This book could frustrate struggling young readers who might try to read it independently; the included CD is a great solution for that particular issue. For advanced young readers / students (ages 6-10), this book offers some meaty vocabulary challenges, higher thinking concepts, and if parent / teacher directed, some beneficial, value-based talking points such as these: 1) What is a museum, and why would people go there? 2) Who are Van Dyck, Van Gogh, Rembrandt, and Monet? 3) Should Micawber travel home with the stranger? 4) Should he mess with the artist's supplies? 5) What themes would a squirrel paint in his pictures? 6) What did the squirrel gain from his adventures? 7) How would you paint a picture?
For home-schooling parents / guardians, this might make an interesting "humanities" reading choice.
