Alvin Ho: Allergic to Girls, School, and Other Scary Things

Alvin Ho #1

De: Lenore Look

Narrado por: Everette Plen

The first book in a hilarious chapter book series that tackles anxiety in a fun, kid-friendly way. Perfect for both beginning and reluctant readers, and fans of Diary of a Wimpy Kid!

A humorous and touching series about facing your fears and embracing new experiences—with a truly unforgettable character—from author Lenore Look and New York Times bestselling and Caldecott Honor winning illustrator LeUyen Pham.

Alvin, an Asian American second grader, is afraid of everything—elevators, tunnels, girls, and, most of all, school. He’s so afraid of school that, while he’ s there, he never, ever, says a word. But at home, Alvin is a very loud superhero named Firecracker Man, a brother to Calvin and Anibelly, and a gentleman-in-training, just like his dad. With the help of his family, can Alvin take on the outside world without letting his fears get the best of him?

“Alvin’s a winner.” —New York Post©2009 Lenore Look; (P)2009 Listening Library

Children’s literature

I thought it was a well structured book we have to criticize the book for our children’s a lit class I as a 23 year old believe the author did a good job (and as well the person reading it) because even though it is for a child it was well written. I think the definition and other things like the book is to advance until possibly 7th grade (personally I didn’t learn about Shakespeare till my freshmen year) but other then that I think it’s a good book for your kids to enjoy.
