Review

June and her dog Sammy who talks to her, though only she can hear him, are looking for a new friend. They find one when new neighbor Mae moves into the neighborhood. June's grandmother sends her a Wonder Wheel game which the girls enjoy playing. There are other friendships as well, making this a good book about friendship for emerging readers. Chapters are short and liberally illustrated, making this an accessible book for emerging readers.

Overall Book Score: good
