Gift Giving Guy

The stars (and grade levels) have aligned for two children’s book gifts. Soon my nephew will be a first grader, and my niece will start the fourth grade. To send them off properly, my wife and I chose two great children’s books from Amazon.com. Our nephew will receive First Grade Stinks!, a story about transitioning from kindergarten to first grade. (What? Only one recess?)

And we’ll give our niece the Judy Blume classic, Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing. I think she will relate to the storyline: Peter deals with the antics of a bratty younger brother, Fudge.

Warning to the squeamish: Fudge eats Peter’s prized turtle.
