Review:
When things go wrong kids
can get a little cranky and even turn into a Crankenstein!
This story is not meant to be
scary but simply states that sometimes we can wake up on the wrong side of the
bed. Or perhaps breakfast isn’t exactly as tasty as we would like it. Long
lines and taking medicine are on the top of the list if you want to see a
Crankenstein. Bad weather, broken toys are a few more things that can bring on
the crank. But what happens when two Crankensteins meet? You’ll have to read
the book to see whether or not there will be mayhem.
Author Samantha Berger and
illustrator Dan Santat share a simple story of emotions and what can cause kids
to be a little cranky. Bold illustrations that provide so much humor to a not
so funny mood will engage children and present an opportunity for parents and
teachers to discuss each image and share how kids can calm the Crankenstein whithin
themselves.
