For a nonfiction piece, The Right Word, had a unique captivating aspect that kept me more interested than most picture books of this genre. What I really enjoyed in The Right Word was the illustrations. They were both unique and captivating. In addition to the story being interesting, the pictures within it would definitely catch a student’s attention. I hadn’t done any background research prior to starting the book, so as I realized that it was nonfiction, I noticed that it would be even more relatable for students. From the loss of his father, his shy demeanor, and obsession with making lists, which his mother never understood, Roget has many characteristics that would connect him to students. I would definitely use this book in my classroom
