Book Descriptions
for Once Around the Block by Kevin Henkes and Victoria Chess
From Cooperative Children's Book Center (CCBC)
To each neighbor, Annie repeats her complaint that there's nothing to do, and at each stop she's offered something to occupy her time for a few minutes. A well-paced flow of drawings with watercolor wash and a text effectively utilizing repetition culminate in a new resolution of a familiar childhood dilemma. (Ages 3-7)
