Minn and Jake

(4) 4-6 Illustrated by Geneviève Côté & Geneviève Côté. Fifth-graders Minn, a tall, thin loner, and Jake, a short, scrawny newcomer, become friends by accident rather than intention and develop a relationship based on their mutual interest in animals. Their odd-couple story has its charms, and while it drags in places, the spare free-verse text will encourage reluctant readers. Sketchy black-and-white drawings accompany the chapters.
