BUYING ADVISORY: EL (K-3) - ESSENTIAL
APPEALS TO: SEVERAL
Joe (from What Happened to You?) is back, and playing in the park. He's trying to just be himself and play with his friends, but people (mostly a grown-up) keep commenting about how amazing Joe is. Joe isn't doing anything special and it's not fun to be singled out just because he has one leg.
I love this series so much! Catchpole writes a great story about a nice kid, and along the way the rest of us learn how to behave, gain some empathy and see the world from some else's perspective. I must have in the elementary library, I'm getting both books for my middle school. The children are multicultured.
