When Wagner missed getting to have some ice cream Naomi said, "That's the worst day ever!"
This is a cute series of early readers.

Pearl and Wagner are best friends. Some times they don't see eye-to-eye, but they always find a way to resolve the problem in the end. Good creative fun. In this book, they discover that keeping secrets can sometimes lead to big problems (such as missing out on ice cream!).

We discovered this duo when my youngest son was 5, and they've become welcome friends on our bookshelf.

[Dolly]

Cute book about two friends who help each other and work together. But they also bicker, working out their issues in nice ways. It's a fun story to read aloud with younger children. We are working our way through the four book series and look forward to the next one.

[Quinn]

I am impressed. This is my first chapter book with out any help at all!

[Karen]

Cute, but was hoping it would be high interest, low level. Not sure it would appeal to older readers.

[Alice]

This is a beginning chapter book. (Three chapters be exact) It has simple sentences and a cute story.
I think I am going to read more the Pearl and Wagner adventures!!! :-D

[Patricia]

A really cute story. It was a lot of fun to read. We are not Pearl and Wagner fans!
