Reviews
Booklist
“In the new Real Kids Readers series, [this]. . . book tell[s] [a] simple, realistic stor[y] and [is]illustrated with full-color photographs of contemporary children from diverse backgrounds. . . Hood’s story is about a new kid, Sid, who acts silly and irritates the teacher and the class, until one boy remembers how hard it is to be a newcomer and reaches out to ask Sid to play. . . What children will enjoy are the stormy moods in both books. A note to parents points out the phonic guidelines that will help kids learn to read.”

“[This] phonics-based easy reader would make a welcome addition to any collection. . . [This] story [is] interesting, makes sense, and have engaging characters. However, it is the colorful photographs on double-page spreads that make these texts come alive. The children’s facial expressions and natural body language perfectly express humor, exasperation, insecurity, and other plot-related emotions. ‘Phonic Guidelines’ and tips for reading with children round out these books that beginning readers will reach for again and again. Buy multiples!”
