Title: Rosy Cole: She Walks in Beauty
Author: Sheila Greenwald
Publisher: Little, Brown and Company
Date: 1994
Age Range: 3 -5 grade
Summary: Rosy finds out how difficult it is to become one of the beautiful people.
Strengths:
I like the idea that the author is trying to get across, that beauty is in the eye of the beholder. It makes for an interesting subject and the outcome is very funny in the book.
Concerns:
I may have liked what the author was trying to get across but I didn't like how she played it out in the book.
The book also stops abruptly but that may just be because it is such a short book. But it makes it seem once you are "beautiful" everyone falls all over you and you can have your own way. It seemed like it sent out mixed signals.
