(4) K-3 Dive into Reading series. Illustrated by Shirley Ng-Benitez. Follow finds map-loving Pablo leading his pals on a day trip to Coney Island via city bus and subway. In Buddy, Padma helps decorate a "buddy bench" for classmates in need of friends. The story lines are somewhat bland, but the always-helpful group of friends, illustrated with a variety of skin tones in Ng-Benitez's cheery digitally altered watercolor pictures, is warmly portrayed. Review covers these Dive into Reading titles: The Buddy Bench and Follow That Map!
