Mostly Monty

(3) 1-3 Illustrated by Anik McGrory. Monty's nervous to start first grade because he has asthma. He gains confidence as he proves to be a good reader, finds a pet he isn't allergic to, and makes friends. Once Monty's illness is established and Hurwitz moves on with the story, Monty has some amusing low-key adventures. McGrory's black-and-white illustrations show Monty's initial timidity, then his growing sense of self.
