children’s Literature

the Main Character In The Andy Russell Series Has A Lot Going On In His Life. Andy’s Mother Is Having A Baby, His Best Friend Tamika Is About To Move In With The Russell Family, His Fourth Grade Class Is Planning A Carnival And He Has About Fifty Gerbils Too Many. In Addition, He Has Been Feeding And Caring For A Stray Cat In The Schoolyard, Trying To Avoid His Annoying Classmate, Stacy Ann Jackson And Spending Too Much Time Daydreaming During Class. Andy Is Often Thinking About A Name For The New Baby. He And His Older Sister Are Quite Involved With The Impending Birth Of Their Sibling. This Aspect Of The Plot Rings True Since Today’s Young Kids Talk About Sonograms And Listen To Mommy’s Tummy And Are Quite Knowledgeable And Concerned About Childbirth. The Story Has Some Exciting Moments, But Kids May Not Be As Captivated By Andy’s Escapades As They’ve Been By The Adventures Of Cam Jansen, The Hero Of Mr. Adler’s Mysteries For Young Readers. There Are Not Many Of The Black And White Illustrations, But They Are Appealing.
