Summary:
The
story is about two friends, a raccoon named Jake and Kimberly the rabbit and a
guessing game between the two about a certain digging implement. The game transpires over several pages with
each of them taking turns guessing the others new sandbox toy.
Personal
Evaluation:
Pros: The book uses the guessing game to
involve children the game as well. Several guesses are made in the book that
allows the audience the chance to make a guess along with the two friends. This
has repetition to the story that will have the guesses coming in the form of a
shovel as the name and the shape of the book suggests. The use of several
popular construction devices also helps to keep children’s attention.
Cons:The only thing I would have liked to have seen is a few more pages (2-4) added to allow for a little more repetition on the readers part. Another side note it the difficulty in finding the publishers presence on the internet. Multiple searches brought to light lists of books published by the publisher but nothing indicating a solid backing.
Final: Overall “My Shovel” is a very good book for early readers. The book is constructed very well as the copy I had was well used and the use of repetition and the ability to guess the stories outcome was well used.
