K-326 Fairmount Avenue Book series.
This third chapter-book installment of dePaola's memoirs culminates with the artist entering first grade and finally--finally!--getting to learn to read. DePaola's writing and recollective skills are so fresh that kids will feel like he's sitting right next to them, telling his tales in and out of school with disarming charisma and not a hint of nostalgia.
