![]() ![]() ![]() This children’s book sets a new standard. I started this website determined for find good children’s books to inspire reading, but many of the books for the younger age are so flat. Rather, it’s the lovely way every day moments and feelings are captured and expressed in a way that children can easily relate to. But it’s not the plot that makes the children’s book so good. ![]() The plot is simple – the family babysitter is moving away, and Eleanor deals with accepting change. It’s a story that makes you happy to read. The vocabulary is very accessible, and the chapters are short. The story is told first person by a third grade girl. The writing in this children’s book is simple, laid out with only a few words on a line for ease of reading. Here’s one of the absolute best early readers/first chapter books I’ve come across. “After her very important call my mom sat on the couch with me and read five whole chapters of a book to me… And when we got to the happy ending, my mom’s eyes got red …My mom always cries at happy endings.” ![]()
