This Place is Wet

By: Vicki Cobb

 I do not feel particularly strongly one way or another about this book. Although I didn’t necessarily care for it, I could see a child getting a lot out of it. I found it hard to read because there was a lot of text on the page, and also I am not a big reader of nonfiction. It is not my type of book, but that is not to say that there isn’t a child out there who would really love it. It is challenging, informative, and uses a lot of good imagery. I do not think I would use this to read aloud, however it would be good for reading workshops. It could also connect great to social studies units because it is about living in the rain forest and the people there.
