1-3Pedro series.
Illustrated by
Tammie Lyon.
In two standalone early chapter books, Pedro and friends Katie and JoJo take karate lessons (Ninja); and, using paper cups, their class experiments with construction (Tower). Expressive full-color illustrations and wide leading will aid beginning readers, who should readily connect to Pedro's spunk and personality. Jokes, writing prompts, and discussion questions are appended. Also available in Spanish. Glos. Review covers these Pedro titles: Pedro the Ninja and Pedro's Tricky Tower.
