A New Friend by Poppy Green

3.0

I read this aloud to my kindergartener son. It is very sweet and my outdoorsy son really loved the natural setting. He immediately asked me to read the next in the series, which I will gladly do. I really like these types of books for him. They are chapter books, but heavy with pictures and larger font. They don’t require the attention span needed for older chapter books. But at the same time, he feels like he is getting a more substantial story like his older brothers would read. This series would be good for a child who is looking for something a little chunkier than an emergent reader but not quite ready for a more text-heavy book. As an independent read, it would probably be appropriate for late 1st grade to middle 2nd grade.
