K-Gr 2-Bespectacled Rosa expresses a common childhood desire. She describes various scenarios (painting, trying on makeup, preparing pudding, etc.) that temporarily allow her to have freckles just like her friend Abby. The brief story ends with Rosa learning that Abby would love to wear eyeglasses. The short, easy-to-read sentences set against crisp white backgrounds make this picture book a good selection for beginning readers. It is also a nice choice for practicing fluency and expression as children will recognize and easily emulate Rosa's voice. The colorful illustrations provide clues and emphasize the close friendship between the two girls. Children will identify with the protagonist in this tale of appreciating the uniqueness of individuals.-Maura Bresnahan, High Plain Elementary School, Andover, MA Copyright 2009 Reed Business Information.
