I chose this book simply because it
looked interesting. Zoe has a very good imagination. She pretends she is a queen,
while her friends think she is nothing but a bossy boots. When Zoe offers her
friend lemonade, she finally convinces them that she is a queen. After they
have a feast with food and lemonade, she then admits that she is not a queen,
she is a magician.
The
illustrations in this book look to have been done with watercolors or paint. The
colors are very bright and stand out. They use bubbles to represent what the
characters are thinking about in their head. The pictures take up most of the
page and many of them are double page spread.
This book would be appropriate for children in second and
third grade. One way I would use this book in the classroom is by teaching kids
about using their imagination. I would
share with them that it can be good to pretend. I would also use this book
teach children that it is not good to be bossy and selfish. Another way I would
use this in class is by helping children to increase their vocabulary
comprehension. This book has not won any awards.
