How to Make Friends with a Giant

32 pp. | Putnam | July, 2006 | Trade ISBN 0-399-23779-8 $16.99
(2) K-3 Illustrated by Amy Walrod. This is a perceptive portrait of a friendship between the shortest and tallest boys in first grade: self-consciously diminutive Jake and new-kid Jacomo, who is too tall to fit through the school-bus door. Walrod's goggle-eyed cartoons accentuate Jacomo's differences, while Choldenko shows that the best way to get over your own insecurities is to help someone else overcome theirs.
