A review by smit1286
Leroy Ninker Saddles Up by Kate DiCamillo

3.0

I read this to my 6-year-old based on my 9-year-old’s recommendation. One of my goals this year is to read more of the books my kiddos have read as a way to connect with them. The illustrations are lovely, making it a good choice for a first read aloud chapter book or early chapter book for independent readers. Kate DiCamillo intersperses many interesting word choices (cogitate, procure, agitate, rue, and many more). The book has plenty of silliness to appeal to the little munchkins but the plot was a tad on the boring side.
