I loved “Let Me Finish.” It’s a great, fun-to-read children’s book, a story within a story. With whimsical animal characters, the book, albeit short, grabs kids’ attention from beginning to end, and will be useful and fun on a wide range of levels, as children grow older.Of course, it’s perfect for little kids to listen to, but as a child becomes more familiar with the story, “Let Me Finish” also inspires a response. What child doesn’t love to anticipate what is coming next? When I saw author Min and illustrator Isabel at a bookstore reading earlier this summer, they turned the response idea into a detective game with several groups of engaged primary grade children. The kids were captivated, becoming detectives, asking questions, and figuring out what a newly created story line, based on “Let Me Finish,” might be. Anticipating what comes next in a story, asking questions, and putting together details are such important parts of becoming a strong reader.“Let Me Finish” joins an illustrious list of picture books that inspire children to write, by authoring stories that imitate the original prose in a story. Picture books that incorporate distinct patterns and phrases (including old, but never forgotten stories, such as “The Important Book” by Margaret Wise Brown, “A Rose in My Garden” by Arnold Lobel, and “Chocolate Moose for Dinner” by Fred Gwynne), encourage children to figure out what the writer is doing with words, imitate the writing, and pen their own stories.
