Critics Review
“One girl’s actions lead to chaotic consequences in One Book Was All it Took, a book about the importance of libraries.”
“A delightful picture book that children aged 3-6 will love. Amy Calautti’s carton-like line and water colour illustrations are a wonderful complement to Wenda Shurety’s brilliantly simple story, that is exciting and engaging … a wonderful book that children will want to hear and see many times” – Literacy, Families and Learning
“This neatly resolved story will cause much laughter from the reader, most of whom will know the value of their own community or school library”. – Read Plus
“This aspect of the story makes One Book Was All It Took a fun first book about actions and consequences with no didactic overtone. Violet’s interest in books and desire for a library also supports parents and teachers wanting to instil a love of literature in their young kids.” – Picture Book Parents
