YOUNGER FICTION
Nagda, Ann Whitehead

Dear Whiskers

(2) 1-3 Illustrated by Stephanie Roth. When Jenny's fourth-grade class is assigned second-grade pen pals with whom they will exchange letters, she learns that her pen pal, a recent transfer student from Saudi Arabia, is in dire need of a friend. Nagda's liberal use of natural dialogue and her plot-driven narrative move the story along quickly, while Roth's illustrations allow opportunities for readers to pause and reflect on the action.
