Princess Posey and the New First Grader (Princess Posey, First Grader)
Posey’s teacher asks her to help Grace, the new girl in class, settle in. Since her best pals already admire Grace’s long, princesslike hair, Posey sees her as a threat rather than a potential friend. But after realizing how Grace feels when she is placed in the lowest reading group, Posey reaches out to her. Written with short words and sentences, this appealing story captures the emotional lives of first-graders with sensitivity, understanding, and humor. Black-and-white drawings (most not seen) illustrate the story. A fine addition to the Princess Posey series of beginning chapter books. Grades K-2. --Carolyn Phelan--This text refers to theHardcoveredition.
