A Book Review

Worksheet Description

This worksheet is thoughtfully prepared for students to use in celebration of International Children’s Book Day, providing a structured template for them to review a book of their choice. At the top, there is a space designated for the student’s name, ensuring a personal connection to the activity. The worksheet prompts the student to document the title and author of the book, describe its content, explain their reason for choosing it, and reflect on how the book relates to the current year’s ICBD theme.

The lower section of the worksheet asks two critical thinking questions: how the book reflects the year’s theme from the student’s perspective, and whether they would recommend the book, along with their reasons. These questions are designed to engage students in deeper analysis and critical evaluation of the reading material in relation to the broader context of the ICBD theme. This reflective practice encourages students to consider the influence of thematic elements in literature and their own criteria for recommending books to others. The worksheet is clear and direct, promoting thoughtful engagement with literature and fostering an appreciation for the diversity and richness of children’s books on this international observance.
