Vera's New School

(3) K-3 Vera's the new kid at school. On her first day, Vera's classmates make fun of her picture in art class and her sandwich at lunch. Then, at an outdoor assembly, she and another girl accidentally sit on an anthill; their shared experience dealing with ant bites makes them friends. Rosenberry's slightly caricatured portrayals suit the simple but unusual slice-of-life story.
Reviewer: Martha V. Parravano
