Review

Most of the photos contained in this book show awkward moments but the overall theme is positive and supportive. Children learn that awkwardness is universal and that being perfect is overrated. The font used is large enough for early readers and works well in a group setting. This format resembles a scrapbook complete with brightly colored backgrounds and large adorable photos. While turning pages readers of all ages will giggle and smile remembering their personal awkward moments. Intended to be read for fun this book is good for K-2 classrooms.

Overall Book Score: good
