Maggie and Me — Ted Stanton

Gr 3-4 --Each of the five chapters represents a different event involving Maggie, Cyril, and their classmates. A humorous tone runs throughout the story as readers meet various children typical of any class: some bossy, some bullies, some leaders (Maggie), and some followers (Cyril). This mild-mannered book with lots of dialogue and action will appeal to young readers; the cover is attractive and inviting. Children will want to read other stories about the ``Greenapple Street Geniuses,'' but currently all of these Canadian publications are not available here. --Nancy A.
