The Best Club

(4) 1-3 Katie Woo series. Illustrated by Tammie Lyon. In Best Club, a classmate's club turns everything into a competition; in Sleepover, Katie hosts a slumber party that involves some jitters. Both early chapter books provide practice with reading dialogue, which is forced at times but sometimes succeeds at depicting early-elementary-school dynamics. As usual, the illustrations depict a diverse cast of young characters. Discussion questions, writing prompts, and a recipe are included. Glos. Review covers the following Katie Woo titles: The Best Club and Katie's Spooky Sleepover.
