Minn & Jake Part 1

Wong, Janet S. Minn and Jake. Illus. Genevieve Cote. New York, NY: Frances Foster Books, 2003.

I have really enjoyed reading this book so far. It brings me back to my childhood and the good ol days of recess. I enjoyed how they portrayed Minn as the tomboy, the one who likes lizards and to get dirty, and Jake is the one who is scared of lizards and would rather nap than catch them.
This book was such an easy for read for me. This book would be perfect for the reader who is just getting into chapter books. I feel that it is very good for kids probably in the fifth grade as they could relate easily to the issues Minn and Jake are having. I have not finished reading this book but I can not wait to start the second part!
