Reviews
PreS-Gr. 2. With spare, elemental words and just a few sentences per page, this reprint of a 1997 title captures a boy's universal longing for a solitary space of his own. Newly formatted as a Green Light Reader, the story, with its simple, rhythmic words, is perfectly paced for emerging readers, and McPhail's delicately colored drawings nicely capture Nicholas' frustration and then delight after his family uses a blanket to make a private space for him. Preliterate kids will need help with the closing activity, which encourages them to think about what and where they like to play. Also suggest Amada Irma Perez's My Very Own Room (2000), another story about kids in crowded houses seeking places of their own. Gillian Engberg
