Review of Just Four You
This children’s book contains four fables. In the first story, a girl with a love of sweets meets an older woman who bakes. They form a friendship. The girl’s parents worry about her taking advantage of the woman for her sweets. In the second story, a boy has a very special toy ball with a unique tale of how he got it. In the third story, an owl and a wolf form an unlikely partnership. They keep each other safe and look out for each other. The fourth book features a family of rabbits, and the bunnies learn about limits and rules.
Just Four You is written by Dwayne Cathey. It has positive morals to the stories. I liked that the lessons were clearly listed at the end of each section. The stories have depth to the characters and show many facets of relationships. This will appeal to older readers.
The manner of writing in this book is very simplistic. The basic morals are ideal for young readers under the age of six. However, the book is long. It is similar to an early chapter book and does not have any pictures. This makes the reading level more appropriate for an eight-year-old, but the story may be too simple for that age range.
I rate this book 3 out of 5 stars for being a nice children’s book with good morals in the stories. Points are deducted for editing as two grammatical errors were identified. Stars were also deducted as the story is too simple for the reading level used, as discussed above.
I recommend this book to children about eight to ten years old who would like to read wholesome stories and need a more challenging reading level. Parents can feel confident in allowing impressionable children to read this novel. There is no profane language used.
