Help Wanted, Must Love Books by Janet Sumner Johnson -- A NetGalley Review

Thank you to NetGalley and Capstone for the advanced reader copy of this book, to read and review.

Help Wanted, Must Love Books shows us a unique view of a child wanting to be read to by her parent.  What happens when there is a break-down in the bedtime routine?

This book shows what happens with Shailey.  Her love of books, but her father's new job schedule.  Shailey wants that book read, like most children, so she fires her dad and goes on to look for someone to take his place reading.  She is  not pleased with the results, as most of them are fairy tale characters, that have some problems meeting her standards.

I think it is important to have some of the higher language that is in this book, examples being: applicants, hygiene, and personal statement.  It is important that the reader (parent, babysitter, librarian, teacher) explain these words that the children may not know, to help increase their vocabulary and understanding of the world.
