Billy Miller is about to start second grade after a bump on his head that summer, and he worries about whether he is smart enough. The book is organised in four sections: Teacher, Father, Mother, and Sister, each focused on a part of his world, from his teacher to his baby sister. Kevin Henkes tells everyday stories with warmth and humour, and with illustrations.
Children of early elementary age will recognise their own worries about school and family. It is a gentle chapter book, suited to read-aloud sessions and to new independent readers.
Practical and clear-cut; an easy read.
Best for readers like The Curious Generalist. Which reader are you?
