The new school year brings lessons for Lionel to explore with his class. But Lionel has to find out some things by himself. For example, what will his teacher tell his parents on Back-to-School Night? Can the new boy really wrestle polar bears? And how can Lionel make classtime go by as quickly as recess? Readers will be quick to identify with Lionel and his friends-and to wonder what Lionel will discover next.
This book was cute for a young reader, 6ish. It would not be so funny, I don't think to a child much older. It was cute, but Lionel did things that weren't nice and because he never knew they weren't, it wasn't addressed. Good for a mature six year old so you can talk about it. Now how do I get David to read it? Sariah, I need you to recommend it to him!
