Horn Book Review

First grader Pedro (classmate of Manushkin's Katie Woo character) stars in four short standalone stories: Pedro becomes a soccer goalie, learns about bugs, runs for class president, and starts a mystery club with friends. Expressive full-color illustrations and wide leading will aid beginning readers, who should readily connect to Pedro's spunk and personality. Jokes, writing prompts, and discussion questions are appended. Glos. [Review covers the following Pedro titles: Pedro's Big Goal, Pedro for President, Pedro Goes Buggy, and Pedro's Mystery Club.] (c) Copyright 2017.
