Miss Malarkey Leaves No Reader Behind

32 pp. | Walker | July, 2006 | Trade ISBN 0-8027-8084-9 $16.95
(4) K-3 Illustrated by Kevin O'Malley. This well-intentioned but didactic story features optimistic bibliophile Miss Malarkey, who is convinced she can find a book for every student, even the most reluctant one, to enjoy during the school readathon. The story focuses on the variety of genres available to readers, and cartoonlike illustrations with speech bubbles lend some extra liveliness. A reading guide is included.
