I asked Aaron Cowart, age 9, to pick a book from a collection I had from the library. These books were of a variety of mixed genre. Aaron chose the book All the Lights in the Night, by Arthur A. Levine, illustrated by James E. Ransome. Aaron told me he chose the book because of the picture on the front of the book. He liked the drawing because it showed the book was about two boys, and he said because "it looked old".
Aaron's interest held through the book. He was very observant and able to discuss the book with me. Aaron said he liked the book. I asked him why he liked it and he said because it was about two brothers and because it had a good message. He also was interested in the history and setting (which was in WWII Russia).
