Slowpoke

From School Library Journal Gr 1-2–Unlike the rest of her fast-moving, multitasking family, Fiona likes to take her time, indulging in long baths, eating her cereal one piece at a time, and brushing each tooth 32 times before school. After she misses the bus, het family decides to send her to Speed School. Soon she has set a class record for rapidity, but she longs to return to her leisurely ways. Moving so fast all the time is making her head spin–literally. When it gets stuck backwards, Fiona leads her family in “Slow School” (doing things at her speed for a while). They gain a greater appreciation for the child's pace, causing her brother to conclude, “Slow doesn't stink...if you're not waiting for the bathroom.” Kids like Fiona will identify with her, and others will gain a greater understanding of individual differences. Unfortunately some inconsistencies between the text and images may confuse beginning readers (twice the story refers to characters wearing glasses or goggles when they are not shown in the illustrations). However, the writing in this easy reader is strong, and Pearce includes humorous examples and descriptions of Fiona's predicament.–Jackie Partch, Multnomah County Library, Portland, ORα(c) Copyright 2010.
