Reviews

PreSchool-Grade 3–A welcome addition to a popular series, this folk song is a wonderful choice for encouraging kids to feel good about themselves and their talents. In this appealingly illustrated version, the warm pictures tell a story of their own. The title page shows a stage with a small face peeking out through the red curtains. Next, the verse "This little light of mine, I'm gonna let it shine" is accompanied by a bird's-eye view of a group of children turning on a light backstage. As the song continues, the students and their teacher rehearse, build sets, and raid boxes of costumes. Schuett uses many different types of lights to reinforce the theme, including flashlights, spotlights, stars, and candles. One particularly effective spread depicts the radiant faces of the singers' proud and loving families. The music and lyrics are appended. This offering will be a sure hit with the Raffi crowd; pair it with other picture-book renditions of songs for a boisterous storytime.–Bina Williams, Bridgeport Public Library, CT
