Title: When Sophie Gets A Caldecott...
Review: ...I have to wonder what the judges were thinking. The art in this book resembles that of badly drawn comic books. It is loud, ugly, and unappealing. (In one scene Sophie's head is bent at an unatural angle giving the appearance that it is detached from her body. Yuck!) If the text were good, I could forgive all this. But when little Sophie gets angry she has a temper tantrum then runs away. There is nothing new or special here. This book doesn't work on any level and I was shocked when I heard that the Caldecott committee chose it for an honor book.
Is the review positive or negative?
