Cool Zone with The Pain and the Great One

Remember The Pain and The Great One? Judy Blume has brought those two siblings back for a series of four books. The second book is Cool Zone with Abigail and her brother, Jake. Fun reading for grades 2 and 3. A great read aloud for your younger siblings or kids you babysit for. Abigail is the third grader and Jake is a first grader. You will enjoy the banter between the two. Blume can really capture the dialog accurately. One minute the two are teasing each other and the next they are sticking up for each other. The chapters alternate between The Pain's and The Great One's point of view. Good book to help explain PERSPECTIVE. (one of my favorite SJV library words) This 111 page book has fun illustrations by James Stevenson throughout to make it even more enjoyable. Let me know what you think!
