EASY READERS
Hooks, Gwendolyn

Music Time

(4) K-3 Dive into Reading series. Illustrated by Shirley Ng-Benitez. In Block Party, Padma worries that her neighbors will not like the soup her mother learned to make in India. In Music Time, Henry wants to practice his drums, but his mother needs quiet. Solutions to both problems come with too much ease, but Ng-Benitez's illustrations portray a refreshingly multicultural circle of city-neighborhood friends, and Block Party addresses concerns rarely tackled in easy readers. Review covers these Dive Into Reading! titles: Block Party and Music Time.
