2010/32pgs.About the Book: Poor Albertine. She lives in a family of very talented people. Mom sews doll clothes and can sew a new outfit in ten minutes flat. Dad has an award-winning vegetable garden. And her brother is a whiz at soccer. But Albertine has yet to find her thing.
Sarah Teenlibrarian Says: Albertine's Got Talent is a very funny picture book. And I will admit, I loved it because how often do you get to read the word "wonky" in picture books? So yes, major points there!
Albertine's family keep suggesting new hobbies that might develop into Albertine's talent. She tries gym class, swimming and woodworking, all with disastrous results. But Albertine learns her talent and discovers it on her own and learns that yes, she is good at some things!
The illustrations are a muted pastel color and I would have liked them to be a bit brighter-I thought they were a bit bland. But the story is fun and it would make a great read-aloud, especially for kids wondering what their special talent may be.
