(4) K-3 Though Emma feels unwelcome in her new neighborhood, her fantasy life gives her confidence: "If I could make friends with someone like Mr. Bear, I guess I could make friends with some neighborhood kids." The problem is resolved too easily, but the essential point about imagination being a source of strength is a keeper. The art's flower-garden hues nicely counterpoint the urban gray.
