Freckleface Strawberry and the Dodgeball Bully by Julianne Moore


Moore, Julianne Freckleface Strawberry and the Dodgeball Bully, illustrated by LeUyen Pham. Bloomsbury, 2009. $16.99. PICTURE BOOK. Freckleface Strawberry loves to go to school early for Early Bird play – EXCEPT when it is raining, because rain means dodgeball! And dodgeball means Windy Pants Patrick, with the too hard throw will try his best to make everyone cry. But this time, Freckleface Strawberry has a plan. What plan? I’m not going to tell! Younger kids will especially love this book, because it touches on a deep concern for all of them. And it’s a great opener for talking to bigger kids about how to play appropriately with those smaller than them. EL – ESSENTIAL. Cindy, Library Teacher.
