From Booklist
*Starred Review* A close cousin to the publisher’s Poetry Builders set, the Writing Builders series offers gregarious, upbeat introductions to a number of tasks young writers will eventually tackle, from preparing a speech to conducting an interview. This volume introduces nine-year-old Bo, whose recent experience blogging from a family stay in England gives him the expertise to show his friend, Bridget, how it’s done. McDee’s fully colored cartoon illustrations situate the duo in a cozy, middle-class household, where Bridget’s mom pops in with snacks (radishes, anyone?) as well as some sage words of advice before—and this is key—trusting the kids to do most of the work. Bridget’s concerns are understandable: “Well, does my blog have to be as long as yours?” Bo’s answers are a little my-way-or-the-highway, but nonetheless bring up good things to consider: a design template, the intended audience, and using correct terminology such as posting. They read other blogs for inspiration, which is where they learn never to gossip or use full names or personal info. The wisecracks never intrude upon the learning, and the advice can easily extend to other kinds of writing. Kids are going to post stuff online, so why not use sets like this to help them be smarter and safer? Grades 2-4. --Daniel Kraus
