Not only did I fall in love with April, but so did every student in my kindergarten class! April's Journal is a unique picture book that captivated the attention of each one of my young learners. April is a relatable character who invites the young reader into her daily life by sharing her thoughts that she writes in her journal. I found the topics to be thought provoking and age-appropriate for primary grade children. The section on "Teaching Tips", is extremely helpful and gives teachers and parents alike guidance on how to use the book to generate writing. It also helps foster the love of reading and writing in young children. I found this book to be creative and original. I highly recommend it.
