This is an adorable first chapter book about a second grade little girl Elizabeth and her real life 7- year- old problems!  Problems such as fitting in, being first in line, and friends.

 Elizabeth is hurt because her “friend” Anna comes first in the alphabet and therefore gets to be first in many activities. On a list of what Elizabeth believes in, “I want to be first” comes in at number 4. She and her friends work together to find solutions agreeable to everyone, including the teacher.

 This book has large print, short chapters and cute drawings. It explores realist concerns of age-appropriate problems and possible creative solutions.

 I would highly recommend this to beginning readers ready for chapter books, and as a great read aloud.  Children will easily relate to Elizabeth’s problems and might be inspired by her solutions!
