Peach and Plum: Here We Come!

Description

Here they come! It's Peach and Plum! Welcome to Fruitdale! School is out and work is done. Now it's time for summer fun. Peach and Plum have lots to do. Beach day, bikes, and basketball, too. Will they wind up stuck indoors with a pesky list of chores? True adventure never ends for this pair of sweet best friends. Ripe with humor and bursting with rhyme, these five short stories and four mini-comics will have newly independent readers wriggling, giggling, and going bananas for Peach and Plum.

"The simple, metered text keeps the chapters bouncing along, and McCanna's amiable, colorful illustrations, drawn with simple lines, allow the book to serve the primary purpose of reading practice while sparking moments of delight and recognition for young readers...A welcoming invitation to read, rhyme, and savor life's sweet moments." --School Library Journal
