Little Mates Books is a children's series about four young boys and girls ranging from 5 to 10 years old. Matt and Meg are brother and sister and they live next door to buddies, Max and Maddi. These neighbors have a pet dog named Milo. Any reader can well imagine the fun/trouble these young children can get into and they do so on a regular basis.Maddi does a fine job of experiencing peer pressure on her first day of school as she succumbs to the idea of disobeying the rules and leaves the safety of the schoolyard. At the persuasion of her little school mate, they crawl through a wire fence. Maddi senses the danger and quickly leaves but her friend finds herself in a troubling situation.  Maddi scurries to get help.This little book is delightful. It not only teaches a lesson about the possible negative consequences of disobeying the rules, it also jogs the child's intellect to discover solutions to the problem at hand. The use of rhyme is a great educational tool and the illustrations all positively add to this childhood reading experience.Inspirational Author & Book Reviewer ~ Dolores AyotteI'm Not Perfect and It's Okay
