Kevin Henkes has been praised both as a writer and as an illustrator. I like how Kevin Henkes writes all his book. I think He should write a sequel on The Zebra Wall. Maybe he could have a miracle come in The Vorlob family.

exclaimed Aunt Irene, whirling around with a start as Adine tried to sneak into the kitchen. Where on earth have you been? I thought you were up in our room. And Deedee-where was she?. And Deedee-where was she? t Deedee, Adine said, choosing her words carefully. She was outside, she added, dropping Deedee on the wet floor. Adine was drained and drenched and muddy from running throughout the neighborhood and alleyway behind their house, calling frantically for Deedee-and crying. Her pajamas and hair were dripping, making dirty puddles at her feet.

Adine has four sisters, and her mother is off to the hospital to have the sixth baby, who unexpectedly turns out to be a boy. Her mother's overbearing sister, Aunt Irene, moves in temporarily to help the family out. The children are not fond of Aunt Irene, and Adine specifically does not like her. In the course of the short book, Adine explores every facet of her complex emotions regarding her irritating Aunt.

The Zebra Wall

This story is about the Vorlorb family. The main character is Adine Vorlorb who is ten-years-old. She has 4 younger sisters. Their names are in order, are; Adine,(age 10), Bernice, (age eight), Carla, (age seven), Dot, (age four), and Effie, (age 2). There was also another baby coming, and they were expecting it to be a girl, since they already had 5 girls in a row. Whenever the family was having another baby, they would make a list of names that they liked. Alphabetically, this next child would have to start with the letter 'F'. Later on her mother goes to the hospital and the girls are forced to stay at home with their most hated aunt, Aunt Irene. Soon to find out that Adine's mother had a son, not a daughter. When her mother had brought the baby home, they couldn't decide what to name him, so they left him with the name 'Baby' until they could think of one that they all liked. Adine doesn't like Aunt Irene or her ugly cat Deedee, so one day when it was raining and she was home because she was sick, she scooted Deedee out the back door and closed the door on the cat, when she knew it was pouring cats and dogs outside. Later she overhears that Aunt Irene was so thankful for having such wonderful nieces, and Adine feels guilty, runs outside, and brought back Deedee. At the end, Aunt Irene and Adine have a special bond between each other, and become best of friends. Adine's mother gives the opportunity for Aunt Irene to choose Baby's real name. Aunt Irene chooses the name Zachary, the name that Adine wanted to name her little baby brother.

I liked this book because it explains to me, as a reader that she felt isolized from her aunt's own 'world'. It explained to be what goes through a 10-year-old's mind when she sees a family member that she doesn't exactly approve of. One quote that I absolutely fell in love with is when she is talking with her sisters about Aunt Irene, "She is so BOSSY," said Adine." I like this quote because I feel as if this scene is a mere image in a mirror of me, when I talk about an adult that I don't exactly approve of.

Another quote that liked was when Aunt Irene and Adine was talking, a the author wrote a very good description about what was happening to the teapot, and I felt as if I was standing right there looking at the teapot, "The teapot was piping hot; steam rose from its spout like a chimney smoke." I love it when an author gets a little object and turns it into a big idea when he or she adds a lot good descriptive words.

My most favorite part of the book was when Aunt Irene finally told everyone in the family what she was going to name her nephew. I liked that part because Aunt Irene had thought about her oldest niece, and how Adine felt. The least part of the story was when Adine and her sisters were talking very badly about Aunt Irene and drawing mean pictures of her. I hated that part of the story because I felt that Aunt Irene didn't deserve to be talked about like that behind her back. This book taught me that even though adults say things that I may not agree with, or things that i do not want to do, those things will take be further in life, but I also highly think that children's point of view and opinions should be taken in too, because children are bright and I think that children can easily think out of the box and come up with more better ideas.

I think this book was very good. I like how Kevin Henkes writes all his book. I think He should write a sequel on The Zebra Wall. Maybe he could have a miracle come in The Vorlob family. I think they should end up being able to have more children and have it be another girl, and redue the F wall.
