Critics Review
“A welcome series addition that emphasizes familiarity instead of difference and treats its message with an affectionately light hand.” “ Kirkus” “Lots of kids will recognize themselves in this book…and teachers and librarians will be happy to have a series to recommend that stars a realistic, likable boy of color.” “ Horn Book Magazine” “This is a consistently fun read, complete with endearing characters, charming spot illustrations, and satisfying resolutions. Furthermore, it is a much needed story in which African American boys can see themselves visually and textually reflected in a positive light, completely free of the usual tropes of multicultural literature.” “ Booklist” “The warm details of Richard’s African-American family are tempered by the realism of life with a bunch of boisterous boys…English continues to earn her place as one of the most reliable early-grade authors, and readers who haven’t discovered the Carver School kids will find this a satisfying entry point.” “ Bulletin””
