Dude: Fun With Dude and Betty

Dude: Fun With Dude and Betty
By Lisa Pliscou
Harper, c2011. Unpaged easy reader.

Follow Dude (a "way cool guy"), his dog Bud (a "most excellent dog"), and Dude's Friend Betty (a "righteous surf Betty") as they head to the beach to surf and soak up some rays. It doesn't use as much repetition or simple vocabulary as the Dick and Jane books, but is still a really funny book to read together out loud. The glossary of surfer terms is helpful and entertaining. I love the last couple of pages, because Father and Mother look like Dick and Jane all grown up- even though they are brother and sister in the originals!

Review: Last One Picked

  Last One Picked By Audrey Meeker New York: Feiwel & Friends, 2026. Comic.  Annabeth has never been very athletic, but that doesn't matter. She is perfectly content to spend her time with her Warrior Princess books and volunteering at the library. When summer comes, her mom is convinced by their stuck up neighbor to send Annabeth to volleyball camp, the last place she would ever want to be. Not only does she feel completely out of her depth, her ex-best friend, Serena, is there- and she is not happy that Annabeth is infringing on her domain. However, with the help of some encouraging coaches and teammates, Annabeth slowly starts to realize that she doesn't mind volleyball so much, and might even have a place on the team after all. This graphic novel will hit home for many tweens, especially as it deals with several relevant topics, such as body image, gaining confidence, and how we should treat others. The illustrations were bright and colorful, and the story itself ...
