A Mess of Relatives is designed to support early literacy skills development and a life-long love of reading. The front cover is more illustrated than the back, so it is obvious how to hold the book. Left to right movement of both text and illustrations reinforce directionality. Wonky text placement on page twenty-five supports one-to-one correspondence and develops print awareness. Engaging illustrations support the text while encouraging the reader to turn the page. The text and illustrations flip on pages sixteen to nineteen, encouraging interaction with the reader and further develop print awareness. A simple font with good spacing models the strokes we teach in school - no fancy a or g. Strong patterned text pulls the reader through the story. Word choices develop rich vocabulary skills. The storyline opens opportunities to discuss and accept the messy nature of families. Readers are encouraged to read it again and again and again!
