Rezensionen

Kindergarten-Grade 3?Earnest, unadulterated bibliotherapy. A young child named Yoomee "has skin and hair of many colors," and is ridiculed for being different. She organizes other "different" children and forms a team where nobody is ever teased. They have fun helping others, feeding the homeless, visiting the sick, and picking up trash in the park. They agree that it hurts to be teased and that it feels good to help others. The illustrations, done in what appears to be crayon and India ink, are childlike in their simplicity. Unfortunately, they are so thickly colored that details run together. The colors are so dark that in some pictures facial features are obscured. This book may be useful to counselors and social workers but it lacks the literary subtleties of even a simple picture book. Yoomee and the Wonder Team is all message.?Karen James, Louisville Free Public Library, KY
