BUYING ADVISORY: EL - ADVISABLE
AUDIENCE APPEAL: SEVERAL
Teeny, short for Valentina, has always been the smallest one in her class. Her old classmates used to bully her for it. Now she is starting at a new school and she is very nervous. When the tallest kid Teeny has ever seen comes up to her, will history repeat itself or will Teeny make a new friend?
This is a sweet story about making unexpected friends. I liked the opposites-attract friendship and how Teeny adapts to her new classroom. I think it would be a great book to have in your classroom library, especially for easing new students into your school. However, it's too wordy for a comfortable read-aloud text. I think the illustrations are fun and inviting, though.
