Do You Sing Twinkle?: A Story About Remarriage and New Family
by Sandra Levins
Age: 3rd-5th grade?
I'm not exactly sure who this children's book is aimed towards. The supplementary material at the end is a note for adults, the tone of writing is for younger children, and the protagonist and plot is for older children. This is also a book that fails to present a nonfiction subject in a fictionalized story format. Oftentimes, the child narrator's voice is broken to describe "grown-up" words without transition or skillfully incorporating into the child's perspective.
I like that this book focuses on step-families and the frustrated emotions of the child, but the writing is not fluid and the audience is not clear.
