When adults are perusing picture books it is usually with one or more children in mind. If you are looking for a book that provides unlimited opportunities to interact with young readers I highly recommend Edith Hope Fine’s Cryptomania. It took me a long time to get through this 44-page picture book due to the depth of content and all the “cryptic” imagery and text to be discovered throughout the book. See if you can decipher a famous quote and a well-known song written in Latin. As an educator, Cryptomania, could prove an invaluable resource for STEAM based collaborative projects that combine reading, math, science, history, music and more. So much academic vocabulary has Greek and Latin roots and Cryptomania presents them in an engaging, integrated and stimulating story that covers worlds of applications. As we prepare our children for 21st Century careers it is important for them to have an understanding of the roots of technical and scientific language. It is much easier to understand what the emerging field of Paleo-Botany is about if you know Greek and Latin roots. Cryptomania brings the past into the present and prepares us for the future.

I struggled with the formatting but kids may enjoy this style. A nice additional to our 400s.

Grades 5 and up.
