Reviews
Prolific Giff here offers a four-chapter easy reader with a strong story arc: from bad news and worry to a happy surprise. Jilli and Jim, two inquisitive and imaginative children, wonder what is happening next door. There’s a woman wearing a pointy hat. Is she a witch? Then Jilli’s dog, Fiercely, burrows under the fence. Concerned about the dog’s safety, they decide to be his rescuers, making a satisfying discovery in the process. Palmisciano’s large, colorful illustrations dominate each page and provide a sense of well-being as well as adventure. They also give clues to the action on each page as readers sound out the one- and two-syllable words. Sentences of 10-15 words provide just enough of a challenge to make young readers feel a sense of accomplishment and satisfaction at the resolution of this adventure. But more, it seems, is on the way. Grades K-2. --Edie Ching
