| 9781416991281 | New Girl In Town (2) (Liberty Porter, First Daughter) | DeVillers, Julia | The adventures of Liberty Porter, First Daughter continue in the second book in the series—now in paperback!Children's LiteratureWhen we last saw Liberty Porter she had just moved into the White House; now, in book two, Liberty has to start at a new school—in the middle of the year! Nervous and excited Liberty gets ready for her second First Day of School in one year. Many of her family's traditions have a slight twist this time around, like having the official White House photographer take her picture as she heads off to school; though some, like her dad making pancakes, stay the same. New Girl in Town covers the first two days Liberty is at her new school. It is not always easy for Liberty but her humor and determination help her settle in to her new school and new town. As First Daughter Liberty realizes there are lots of perks—chocolate shop, bowling alley, long hallways to slide down—but also many burdens, including getting all of her classmates to treat her normally. This takes some work but Liberty always stays true to herself and does not let pushy students influence her. As in the first book, Liberty knows a lot of American history and always loves to learn more. This makes for a winning combination and even though Liberty Porter is an extraordinary girl she remains relatable and is sure to appeal to young girls. It is not necessary to have read book one to understand book two. Reviewer: Emily Griffin | Aladdin |

Each title emphasizes one phonics family, the first five books in each set focusing on one vowel sound, and the remaining four books combining some vowel sounds or reviewing them all. Short vowel families are covered in Level 1 readers and long vowel families in Level 2 books. Fiction titles feature attractive illustrations and have story themes ranging from funny to serious. Each fiction title also suggests a brief activity that allows kids to interact with the book’s subject matter. Nonfiction titles are photo illustrated, and include “Fun Facts” to enrich children’s reading experiences. The nonfiction books contain the basic elements of a nonfiction book, including glossary and index. They also suggest web sites appropriate to kids’ interests where more information about each book’s subject is offered.

Word lists also include high-frequency words and challenging words included in the main text. All books present a letter to parents and teachers explaining the fundamental concepts underlying both the series and the specific title. Level 1 readers are designed for classroom or home schooling use in preschool and kindergarten, and Level 2 readers for kindergarten and grade 1. “The Caterpillar” is a story that covers the “short u” sound. | B.E.S. |

It's a rainforest that is home to an estimated 390 billion individual trees, 2.5 million species of insects, and hundreds of amazing creatures and plants that can either cure diseases, or, like the poison dart frog, kill with a single touch.
