(4) 1-3 Illustrated by Cambria Evans. Stuey flies on a plane to visit his dad in Georgia, figures out the perfect present for Mother's Day, and comes up with an unusual pet for the Pet Show. As in the first book (The One and Only Stuey Lewis), Stuey's worries and concerns are too neatly resolved and the other characters a bit stereotypical, but Stuey remains a likable hero that kids can relate to.

(4) 1-3 Illustrated by Cambria Evans. Schoenberg provides a cheerful series of upbeat vignettes about second-grader Stuey's trials and tribulations with reading, soccer, and friends. Although he overcomes his problems far too easily (and the children in the black-and-white illustrations could be more ethnically diverse), readers will find Stuey believable and the positive messages reassuring.
