My Diary From Here to There / Mi diario de aqui hasta alla by Amada Irma Pérez - 0 views

  •  
    What a better way to read about a young girl's immagration to the United States than through a diary. Each page even has the Spanish translations after the English. The illustrations are filled with vibrant colors that are pleasing to the eye. This would be a great resource for children to read and understand what some children experience as they move "from here to there".

Marvin One Too Many - Katherine Paterson - 0 views

  •  
    Marvin One Too Many is a really good book for children who are struggling to learn. This book is about a boy named Marvin and the struggles he has with reading. When Marvin first arrives at school, he does not have a desk and is one too many; it only gets worse from here. Marvin is the only one in his class who can not read. He often feels left out because of this. The children in his class laugh at Marvin and make fun of him because he can not read. A lot of children who have trouble reading can probably relate to Marvin. Finally with the help of his family, Marvin learns to read and begins to enjoy it! Since this is an "I Can Read Book," many children will be able to read this independently. This book can be found in the Penn State libraries.
