Miami Gets It Straight

(4) 1-3 Stepping Stone series. Illustrated by Michael Chesworth. In these three chapter books, Miami Jackson helps choose a gift for his teacher at the end of third grade (Straight), goes to baseball camp (Play), and gets sent to detention on the first day of fourth grade (Through). Chesworth's cartoon illustrations are as exaggerated as the lighthearted text; there's not much substance, but there's plenty of kid appeal. Review covers these Stepping Stone titles: Miami Gets It Straight, Miami Makes the Play, and Miami Sees It Through.
