First chapter books need to be very well done, or else they bore me tremendously. There's nothing wrong with Uh-oh, Cleo. It's a simple story about a little girl with a big family, and a trip to the emergency room for stitches. The author does a fair job at laying out distinct personalities without relying too heavily on stereotype, but it's not the book for me. I feel like I should appreciate the little songs and rhymes the mother invents for her children, but
Frances just does that so much better.
I'll keep it in mind in case a parent asks me for a story about going to the doctor or the hospital.
