Illustrated by
Sami Sweeten.
Kline uses her considerable skill at re-creating the activities and issues in an elementary school classroom to write these prequels about Herbie Jones as a second grader. Both books are shorter and more accessible to young readers than are the other novels in which Herbie is older. Sweeten's black-and-white line illustrations effectively display Herbie's spunky personality. Review covers these titles: Herbie Jones and the Second Grade Slippers and Herbie Jones Sails into Second Grade.
