WHO GOES TO SCHOOL?
by Margaret Hillert

Yes, I am reviewing. I am reviewing many, many Margaret Hillert primers. I love her primers. Her primers are fun to read. They tell good stories. They motivate young readers to continue reading.

In "Who Goes to School", Margaret Hillert has fun playing with the notion of 'going to school'. At the beginning of the book there is a picture of a classic schoolhouse and Margaret asks the child "Who goes to school?"

And it isn't who you think. For instead of children it's dogs, lions, cats, and elephants going to school. And what is REALLY delightful about this primer is that Margaret doesn't dumb-down the story. In stead she shows how the animals put their new knowledge to work. She shows one dog helping a police officer, for example. While another is a seeing eye dog.

THE NEW KID
(Real Kids Readers, Level 1)
by Susan Hood

One thing I like about this series is that there are attractive, kid-friendly pictures of children.  That said, Goodreaders don't seem to like it.  2.83 Stars from them.

The new kid, Sid, always acts up in class. If he's not taking Lee's pencil, he's spilling paint on Bess. Why is he such a pest?
