K-3Dial Easy-to-Read series.
Illustrated by
Ann Schweninger.
Albert, the new boy in Oliver's class, is as tall as a third grader and knows all the answers to the teacher's questions but is terrible at kickball. Oliver coaches him in sports, Albert introduces Oliver to the fascinating world of bugs, and before long (four chapters, in fact), they are fast friends. Exuberant illustrations extend the text in this gentle and enjoyable entry in the Oliver and Amanda Pig series.
