The Hero of Little Street by Gregory Rogers-ADVISABLE

Rogers, Gregory.  The Hero of Little Street,32 pgs. Roaring Brook Press, 2012. $17.99.   Content: G PICTURE BOOK.  This is the final book in Roger’s trilogy.  The illustrations are incredible, the story simple and adventurous even though the book is wordless.  The story begins with a little boy who succeeds in escaping a bunch of bullies who chase him the streets of his hometown.  He slips into an art gallery, figuring he will hide there.  He then finds himself in a completely different adventure as he follows a little dog into a painting and transports himself to seventeenth century Holland.  A new adventure awaits him in Holland, with as much action and suspense as his hometown.  We loved the action and adventure of this book.  We enjoyed every detail and every page.  Because it is a wordless and detailed book, it would be difficult to use as a read-aloud to a whole class.  It’s better suited for one on one time with someone special!  Pre-K.  EL(K-3).  ADVISABLE.  Reviewer: SL.
