Albert's Quiet Quest (A Mile End Kids Story)

by Isabelle Arsenault

Albert wants a quiet place to read...but his friends just want to play! Can they figure out how to have fun together?

Albert's home is very loud--and all he wants to do is read! He escapes outside for some peace, and thinks he's found it at last. But, one by one, his friends boisterously infiltrate his space until Albert just can't take it anymore...and snaps! How will his friends react? While they leave him alone at first, they slowly return...with books in hand.

This beautifully illustrated story models flexible, empathic play, and articulates a range of ways a group can have fun together. A useful tool for any classroom or neighborhood!

I received a free copy of this book from LibraryThing in return for an honest review.

This is a cute little picture book about a young boy, Albert, who just wants to find some peace and quiet to read. I know how he feels! This book illustrates well the value of both reading and friendship. It's the kind of book I used to enjoy reading to my kids when they were younger. I loved the illustrations and the way they complemented the story. This is one for the 4-8 year olds in your life.
