Monchi Ramirez chronicles the year 1938 at his school, a one-room schoolhouse in rural Arizona. Along with his descriptions of the students' adventures are copies of the school paper for the reader to peruse. Sandin's careful attention to historical accuracy sometimes overrides the plot, but readers almost ready for chapter books will appreciate this detailed picture book.
