Ms. Yingling Reads: I wonder...

I wonder...

Am I imagining it, or does this Oreo commercial reference the 2012 Cybils Middle Grade Fiction winner, R. J. Palacio's Wonder?

And if it does reference it... Why? Any thoughts?

Wow! It certainly seems so - blue background, great message! Thanks for posting!

I can definitely see where you're coming from! Maybe it's the colors they used (blue/white/black). I'm hopeful that maybe the message behind the book, Wonder, is a universal message that touches everybody.

My students and I just finished the book as a read aloud and now we're reading The Julian Chapter. They absolutely ADORE this book. I don't think I've ever had a read aloud as powerful as this one in my career so far.

I think the script there at the end definitely does. Maybe they think we need to have a bit of social consciousness with our sugar?

Review Policy

Because this blog is aimed at librarians and patrons of school libraries all books reviewed should be available in hard cover from vendors like Follett. I rarely review books that are only available in paperback and never review books that are born digital or published through subsidy publishers. I use E ARCs provided by Netgalley and Edelweiss, and physical ARCs if provided by major publishers, as well as finished books. I do not earn any money from this blog, and any books I receive are donated to my school library or other libraries in my district. All opinions are my own and do not reflect anyone else's.
