Wumbers by Amy Rosenthal - OPTIONAL


Rosenthal, Amy Krouse Wumbers, illustrated by Tom Lichtenheld.  Chronicle Books, 2013.  $17.  PICTURE BOOK. Content: G.  

Just in time to raise up the next twitter, text generation, Rosenthal has created a book using that old license plate game – numbers representing part of the sound in a word.  The pictures are adorable and little kids learning to read will probably enjoy the silliness.  As a school librarian, however, I know that if this creeps even more into student writing, it will just be irritating.
