Portis, Antoinette

Kindergarten Diary

(2) PS A new kindergartner describes her worries in her own words. Annalina's plain and plausible voice, along with the coloring book–style illustrations, do the volume's emotional heavy lifting. Portis gives her pictures an extra tactile dimension through the selective use of collage, with small areas of fabric and background photographs also providing a "find the real thing" game for young readers.
