Early chapter book, 64 pages.
Lexile: 490L .
AR Level: 2.7 (worth 0.5 points) . Twins Astrid and Apollo are about to have a birthday and they are each working on a surprise for the other. Astrid is sure that Apollo's making her something just like the custom t-shirt she's designing for him, but is he?  Astrid & Apollo and the Puppy Surprise by V. T. Bidania, illustrated by Evelt Yanait. I'm so thrilled about this series. It's one of the worst feelings to have a student request books about a kid like them and you can't meet the request because the books literally haven't been published. In most cases something similar can be found, but for one Hmong student, it was so challenging to find anything at all, let alone something at the right level and with good production quality and of interest to that particular child. When you add in the budgeting and invoicing and approval systems librarians have to go through to add unique books to their libraries, it wasn't a great situation. | | |
