I really liked the book, I Should Worry, I Should Care, because I think it is an excellent example of a chapter book for children between the ages of eight and twelve. It can cross a couple grade levels depending because it would be suitable for students under the age of eight that are considered

advanced readers. The text is big which makes the book more reader friendly and makes the book a faster read for children. This book is also part of a series, so if a student enjoys reading one of them, they can move on to the corresponding four other books in the series. All of the books are about Molly and her family in their neighborhood in Brooklyn. The time period is during World War II, so a teacher could connect the book to a history lesson. This story takes a look at Molly and her friends life and what they want to do and what they can do during such a difficult time period. There are not many pictures in the book but there are a couple that can assist a child in connecting what they are reading and understanding it better. The book could be considered a little controversial however because the author goes into the mind of a child during this time period and how she felt about Jews being killed and her lack of understanding.
