The Sea Chest by Mary GrandPré, Toni Buzzeo
4.0
I read this to our Summer Reading youth. It is a slightly harder book to do in a Storytime situation when you've never read it before. (I grabbed it off the display shelf today when the presenter was running late.) The kids stayed quiet to hear the story, so the book kept them interested. This surprised me since the story didn't seem that exiciting.
It seemed like the language really grabbed them. There were a handful of words they didn't know so great as a vocabulary expander. And we also had a great discussion about different things that could be considered treasure and what different kinds of people we consider family.
3 3/4 ⭐ bumping up to 4 stars
