I Wanna New Room by Karen Kaufman Orloff - ESSENTIAL

Orloff, Karen Kaufman and David Catrow I Wanna New Room, 32 pgs. G.P. Putnam's Sons / Penguin Young Readers, 2010. $16.99. Content - G. PICTURE BOOK.

In this hilarious story told in a series of notes, Alex tries to convince his parents he shouldn't have to share a room with his little brother. Alex's imaginative reasoning is eclipsed only by the delightfully whimsical pictures throughout, and the satisfying ending makes the story worth the read. While this book stands alone very nicely, it also ties into the authors' earlier book, I Wanna Iguana.

EL - ESSENTIAL. Reviewer: Caryn
