PreSchool-Grade 1. In this beginning reader, Sam faces the common problem of not having anything to take to his "sharing time." The very simple, rhyming text describes what his classmates have brought. The boy finally solves his problem when he realizes that his little brother is the perfect choice. The class is as varied as anyone could ask for, with children from diverse racial and ethnic backgrounds and one little girl in a wheelchair. The cartoon illustrations are appealing. The short text could be read aloud, but the format lends itself more to independent readers. Although it is not distinguished in any way, this book provides a positive solution to a familiar predicament.?Dina Sherman, Brooklyn Children's Museum, NY Copyright 1997 Reed Business Information, Inc. Ages 3^-6. The classic show-and-tell classroom scenario gets exuberant treatment in Lewin's big, bold cartoon drawings and Maccarone's surprising story. The examples are as interesting as the climax.

Grade 2-3-Eight-year-old Georgia has very short hair. When she moves to a new school, her classmates think she is a boy. She corrects them, but some of the children tease her, saying she dresses like a boy and plays boys' games. When she befriends Rose and Robin, students who accept her and support her differences, her adjustment to the new school is made easier. Several things stand out about this story: a mother who lets her child do what she wants even if it is unusual, a friend who stands up to bullies, and a teacher who listens and helps the youngster resolve her problem. And Georgia's strength of character is refreshing. She quietly stands her ground because she is so sure that she is her "own kind of girl." The flat illustrations and somewhat stilted pacing do not prevent it from being a book to recommend to children who are teased about their differences, or to use as a springboard for a discussion of gender stereotypes and individuality.
