Amaleigha Makes a New Friend by Janice Pratt – Review by Jennifer Crain
Amaleigha Makes a New Friend by Janice Pratt
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
I thought the introduction was cool- brings up Ukraine, pen pals, and making friends (real or true story). A little wordy, so would recommend for at least first grade and above. The story gives a nice overview of Ukraine- both a brief history and a geography.
The story is sweet and children anywhere will connect to the topics in the pen pail letters- from time with family to sports/hobbies to friends. Would recommend for any class that are interested in other cultures and/or penpal writing.
