A byte is a small unit.
By a stretch of my imagination, a “book byte” would be a
small unit of a book review or book discussion including a quotation, comment, recommendation,
or whatever pops up when readers talk about books.
Here’s a quote from the father of an avid ten year old reader:
“That (book) was right in his wheel house.”The book?
HOW RUDE by Heather L. Montgomery, Scholastic, 2015
This book is about bugs that don’t mind their manners.
Classified as non-fiction and science, the “ugh” factor is replaced by an
exclamation of “gross” at every page turn, something 7-10 year olds “get” while
they laugh so hard they snort milk out their noses.
My thought? If your child reads this book during snack time,
you might want to have a stack of napkins handy.
Repeating the first words of
that sentence, If your child reads, be happy!
