Review

Freckleface Strawberry and her friend Windy Pants are back as budding food critics. They love to eat hot dogs, noodles, grilled cheese, and more. They do NOT love to eat cafeteria food. When Freckleface Strawberry brings her cafeteria food to the lunch table one day, Windy Pants and a growing collection of children want to know what she is eating. She tells them it is her lunch, and with great trepidation, finally tries it and decides she likes it. Expressions on the children's faces tell the story well. Strawberries freckles are particularly notable. Bright colors and lots of white space for clear text are effective. Short sentences and large type font make this very approachable for beginning chapter book readers.

Overall Book Score: good
