An Ideal Choice for English Language Learners

Little Cat's LuckI was so pleased to see a blog post—about my title Little Cat’s Luck—from elementary school librarian Tanya Turek, who gave me a new insight into one category of the book’s readership when she stated the following:“I have also discovered that verse novels are an ideal format for the students at the school where I am the librarian, the majority of whom are English language learners who are reading below grade level. Verse novels allow them to access a longer, more challenging book that looks less intimidating because there are fewer words on the page.”
