The non fiction book Read and rise by Sandra L. Pinkney is a nice book for children ages nursery to primary. Everyone child should read this book for it's inspiration. I give this book a three star rating.

Nice poetry, cool pictures. I think the book is aiming for lofty ideals and has the right intent. The execution was just okay. Our girls liked the pictures of the kids, but there really was no story and the narrative fell pretty flat. I liked the Maya Angelou poem at the beginning.
