(4) K-3 Illustrated by Robert Casilla. Because his papá is a migrant farm worker, Chico has attended numerous California schools, and he finds it difficult to be a new kid so often. However, on his first day in third grade, he uses his mathematical expertise to face down two fourth-grade bullies, and things begin to look up. A number of the illustrations are stiff, but Chico's victory is heartwarming.
