Mom's Review
These "Your..." books by Jon Klassen are just the best! I love how personal this book is to every child who reads it. Beginning with a blank to fill in so that the first sentence reads, "This book is about _________'s horse," the reader is invited to imagine the possibilities of what the horse could do or be. Then the reader learns that the horse can keep secrets. Invited to tell the horse a secret, the reader is engaged with the character, connecting real life with the literature, before the two can drift off to sleep together. Simplistic drawings further encourage imagination. Everything about the board books in this collection is designed to encourage introspection and imagination on the part of the child. I love them!
