(4) 1-3 Ashley Small & Ashlee Tall series. Illustrated by Hédi Fekete. Diminutive, competitive Ashley "Ash" Sanchez and tall, shy Ashlee "Lee" Taylor, both eight, are best friends who encounter big changes when Lee moves out of their apartment building. The pat opposites-as-friends stories deal with misunderstanding, loneliness, and finding new interests. Colorful illustrations highlight the girls' personal and physical differences. Discussion questions, writing prompts, and an activity are appended. Glos. Review covers the following Ashley Small & Ashlee Tall titles: Best Friends Forever? and Brushes and Basketballs.
