The Roly-Poly Hunters in Kindergarten, written and
illustrated by Robin Merlino is a visually delightful
and colorful book meant for children of 3-6 years (Pre
K through 1st grade) and their parents / care givers
etc. It is a short and inspiring story of how a small
girl Maddie overcomes her shyness and makes friends
with her Kindergarten class mates with the help of
Roly-Polies. The book has a nice educational value too
since the author explains what a Roly-Poly is in the
beginning with the help of a good illustration.

The illustrations are appealing, the colors are eye-
catching and the story is good. The target readers may
need a little help from their parents or other elders
to read and understand the story. The book may be a
good addition to play schools and libraries that cater
to children.

While the editor has done a good job in general, I
came across a minor slip. The spelling of one
Roly-Poly as Cassy and Cassie on two different pages
is a little confusing. Except for this, the book is
well-produced.
