The book Stagestruck was a really cute book! I was expecting a predictable children's book, but the story didn't turn out like I thought it was going to. It's about a boy, Tommy, who really wants to be Peter Rabbit in his class play. He knows the story well, and would do a great job as Peter rabbit. But when the time comes for the teacher to choose parts Tommy is talking, and ends up getting Mopsy. Tommy is bummed about getting a part without lines, but he takes his dance teacher's advice from class and stays in character by reacting to Peter rabbit's actions on stage. The audience gets a kick out of Tommy's faces. After this performance Tommy realizes he's stagestruck!I thought this was a cute book. I think it's important to enjoy what you do, and Tommy showed his love for acting in this story. Even though he didn't get the part he wanted he was able to make the best of it and he still got the audience's attention.
This book is a great book for little kids because it uses simple language, and it even explains certain words within the story. For example, when Tommy's dance teacher explains that they should react to what's on stage she explains that if something funny happens they should laugh and when something sad happens they should look sad. This book has an interesting story and set up. On each page the illustrations are framed, and some pages have multiple illustrations. The pages are colorful, and fun to look at. I think the cutest detail is the cover details. The front cover shows a stage with Tommy on it, and the back cover has the spotlights at the back of the auditorium. I think that kindergarteners, and first graders will really enjoy this book!
