afro75 's review for:

That Neighbor Kid by Daniel Miyares

4.0

---

What is the new neighbor doing? One inquisitive girl gathers her courage to find out. She discovers the new neighbor is building a tree house and offers her help. The illustrations in this book are used brilliantly to show both the careful building of a tree house and a friendship. At the beginning of the story the illustrations are black and white. As the story progresses and the friendship grows subtle hints of color are introduced into the narrative. Good book for book walks and one on one reading.
