Pa Lia's First Day

50 pp. | Harcourt | September, 1999 | Trade ISBN 0-15-201974-X $$14.00
(3) 1-3 Jackson Friends Book series. On her first day at a new school, second-grader Pa Lia Vang is relieved to meet Calliope, a friendly classmate. When Calliope's pal, Howardina, snubs her, Pa Lia tries to befriend her by passing funny notes, which almost gets Calliope and Howardina in trouble. Independent readers will relate to Pa Lia's new-kid-on-the-block anxieties, which are playfully--and sensitively--expressed in doodle-like black-and-white illustrations.
